Post by: Big Fra on 28 March 2009, 23:07:51

Meself and the missus wnt a run up to fife the other day to look at getting another addition to the family. (reluctantly by myself)

Anyway, upon reaching our destination, I flicked through the trip computer and........

74.8 mpg!!

She does get around 650 miles to a tank @ 50 quid to fill.

But still!!
