Smile Quite Pleased.....

Just got back from a trip to Rochdale in the Scoob and have just worked out my fuel consumption and pleasantly surprised to find that on the 450 mile round trip I got 28.1mpg......

Don't usually get that good consumption and whilst there were quite a few bits with 50mph average speed cameras which would obviously help the consumption, there was (cough) a number of bits at far higher speeds (where safe to do so Officer....) that counteracted the slower speeds, so overall quite pleased with what the figure turned out to be....

My Scoob is starting to make me smile again after being a dog for the last 4 months

Happy days....

I actually LIKE going shopping..... !!!!

Will think about a dyno, but after what happened to Simon, not very enthusiastic TBH - was doubtfull about the benefits of them before Simon, so not promising....
