    Red face rubbish fuel economy...

    went to bradford last night to collect some parts, and just worked out my MPG for the trip:

    200 miles on 45 litres = 19mpg

    its only a 20SEH as well, standard apart from a 4 brancher!


    grrrrrrrr

    Right, you seem to have forgot that you already had 116miles on the clock when we set off, and had 3/4 of a tank of fuel left, your car holds about 50litres I would guess so we would say you did more like 320miles on 50 litres which is 29mpg
