Talking Can you beat this ??????

So on the way home from work I was thinking about how nuts I must be

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?

Last tank was 28.9 mpg

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

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.

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!
