Question

Hi,

I've been told I have to go work on-site at a customers office every other week. The offices are 140 miles from where I live. I was wondering what mpg's I should get sticking to a steady 70mph in my P1 up the M6 - would 20.00 get me there ?

Cheers,
Steve

I would expect 25mpg possibly more if you resist the temtation to boot it at all.
@ 80.9p per litre that would cost £20.60

Sorry guys, messed up, it is normal unleaded, reason I got it mixed up is cos I was in my missus car - still cheap though at 75.9p, safeways offer 5p per litre off if you spend over £20.00 in store, 10p off if £50.00
