Yeah but i drive enthusiasticly too and there are far more rural routes to enjoy around Lincs' than where you are but I and everyone else here is getting supperior economy to you so it's either one of two things ; 1) Your car is fooked or 2) you need to stop pretending your on a race track !

Wise words bud. I will try using my head on the throttle tomorrow see how I go. I dunno who will steer though

No worries I am not that bigger risk taker

i did do sixty miles a day for five days a week and still have enough fuel for a one way trip to my place of work but would have top it for the return journey but that was before i got another car to use for my journey to and from work
