usually in the 15-16.5 range, but around 24 on longer trips.

300 miles to a tank usually (or at least to the same place in the red (for whatever thats worth :))

Apropos of nothing; over in Peterborough today with a client and I had a trip in an 05 plate VW Shaza taxi with 378k on the clock. It did feel like a few thousand component parts attempting to travel in the same direction mind.

Good effort I thought.

160k miles :shock:

That's a good effort.

I should expect another 100k from mine then as I'm just over 60k now so it's going to last me for years and years :D (won't think about fuel bills, tyre bills, brake bills, servicing bills, failing alternator bills, leaky intercooler bills, gearbox re-furb bills.............. which I'll incur over the next 100k miles though :wink: ).
