Derv mileage.

peterzs · 07-08-11, 04:52 PM

After a trip up to Zed 10 last week and a trip out to Athelhampton House, today, thought I would check my mpg.

Left a bit later than planned, so to get to Clacket Lane Services went to the max allowed.

It comes back as 45.00 mpg. but considering it was a fairly fast run up and down, quite pleased.

Have to wait for Dan to check his now and see what the SDi's do.

Steady figure Pete .... I'll post mine up probably during next week. I'm on 300 at the moment and just over half the guage left but as we all know, it drops quicker on the second half !

LPG seems the way to go, thats until the gov. decides there are too many people going for it. Tax suddenly will bite your ***.

Remember a few years ago derv was a lot cheaper than petrol to get people to run dervs, now they do, derv is dearer than petrol. Takes less to refine it, so why???

I thought I would be 50 + mpg, but I do tend to push the revs up a bit.

Cant wait for your results Dan, might make me fit the SDi's!!!!

I'm cr*p at parking!!!! The wheels were all curbed when I bought it and I just add to the damage.

So bad, I painted over all the bashed up rims, but it still looks like a mad axe man has been up them.

Dont know how some people can keep them like new, know if I had them painted/refurbed they would soon be bashed up!!

Even outside our house, trying to be carefull, cruuuuuuuuuuunch, I know you can look in the mirrors etc. but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
