hi there guys im looking to drive up to manchester, but im not entirely sure if its worth me taking my car. how much fuel would i need & how many miles is manchester from london?

what speed would be the best to maintain a economical mpg

thank u x x

 

id say about 3 half hours in a car takes me 4 half hours in a truck 60 mph prob best economy

 

Depends on how fast u are

 

i see, how many miles isit roughly

 

oye and how much juice would i need? £40 return? lol

 

Probably looking closer to £80 return, it would be in the region of 200 miles one way.

You will probably have to stop for fuel on the way but its about 220 miles to manchester from london, so nearly a tank full of fuel (i did slough to north of manchester on 3/4 of a tank of v power at 60mph though i was taking it easy and my new car is running a little rich) but 70mph is good enough and it should take you about 3.5hrs in decent traffic

thanks, at this point i so wish i had my mums TDi

 

Check and correct all ya fluid levels and ya tyre pressures before ya go, take it nice and easy (not to say you cant have a little play) and you should be fine. Took mine down to London for NYE (160 miles) and was pleasantly surprised with mpg and the 'ride'. Not the parking tho £160 for 4 days

 

Is your car so bad that you can't do 200 miles without it blowing up??

 

LOL! Depends where you are staying in manchester....I don't like taking mine there and I live 30mins away! LOL! I go in the Golf!

Trains are a rippoff and buses are ****...so, if all you have is a scooby...then it will be the best option. Just bring a steering lock etc....

If you keep in 5th at 70/80 you should be ok for mpg but I would say atleast £80

 

a steering lock why? i have an alarm 7 immob. will i need a baseball bat aswel?

 

Is English your first language?

 

erm y'd u ask dat?

 

You have to use "understandable grammar" and not use 'txt spk'.

 

Kareenababy: please do not post in "txt spk", mate. It detracts from the ease with which your posts can be understood and winds many members of the SN community up!

Thanks,

Baseball bat is not a bad idea!LOL!

Immobilisers are good but don't always put the little ******* off!

However....getting around an immobiliser after 10minutes cutting through a steering lock....that just pisses them off!
My clio....(when I lived in Chorlton).....I used to take a few wires off the engine but I wouldn't recommend that with your pride and joy !LOL!

 

oh i see lol tx language im sorry guys...thats the way we girls are.

 

1 tank each way... its worth driving if u wont get bored..

and return will be quicker

 

virgin trains have loads of london to manchester tickets for £3 left.
