Re: mpg on way to work
Yep, 2pac or some tracks from Michael Jackson's 'Off The Wall' generally on Fridays, I'm quite specific. Most of it is drowned out by my downpipes and catback. But I always drive the last few miles gently and let the oil temp get below 89, let the Bose do its thang. I forget sometimes, some of you are old enough to be my fathers.Shoppinit wrote:Were you really listening to 2 PAC?

Dunno, at the height of 2Pac's career, when he was convicted of rape for example, I was 19 so you could argue he was more my era than yours.

Re: mpg on way to work
Rammstein supply a good sound track for the 6...I would suggest the "Made in Germany" Best of as a starting point for beginners.
As a note to the topic title...a good rule of thumb is...the less mpg the more fu*ked your T.C. is...I'm averaging around 15-16mpg around town and putting money aside

Re: mpg on way to work
Haha great stuff amar!
I've got a tub of zymol carbon and a fresh dodo juice clay bar waiting for a nice day!
I tend to get around 15-18mpg to work with what was a slipping box, hoping that it might improve when I get it back but then my foot will be heavier!
Music wise, skrillex, pendulum, knife party... Most people on here will probably never have heard them or don't class any of their stuff as music... But the Bose handles them well!

Re: mpg on way to work
Well I managed to get to Tesco in time. 10 miles left on the range (I very, very rarely ever let her get down to 1/4 tank, let alone vapours...). just over 75 liters went in if memory serves and the range is saying 230........ About 14mpg on a good day methinks and even then I think it is talking crap.
