Can you beat this ??????
 
So on the way home from work I was thinking about how nuts I must be:cuckoo::cuckoo:

I drive a 100 mile round trip 5 days a week commuting to work in my Scooby.

So 500 miles a week, plus weekends, so any thing up to 600 miles a week.

Anyone beat that?:wonder::notworthy:luxhello:

Last tank was 28.9 mpg

Looking at the way this tank is going I could break 30 mpg this time:luxhello:

I would love to drive mine that much not that my petrol costs would like it, but sadly that's what the diesel dog is for.

Cpt Jack Sparrow 05 June 2013 11:15 PM

Managed to do the diesel dog thing for 2 years, but it not the same...

Don't drink , don't smoke .....burn petrol :norty::norty:

I used to do a 120 mile round commute everyday going from Ilkeston Derbyshire, to Kettering, like you mentioned, I ran a diesel, irrespective of fuel type, it doesn't half put some wear on the car!

Did that run in my heavily modded V6 Vectra a couple of times, that car only used to get a combined of 17mpg. Cost me a fortune, so soon switched back to the 50mpg diesel! :lol:
