Amazing what you'll watch to take your mind off toothache.0 -
10 miles to a litre is 45.5 mpg, roughly. I would have said that was fairly poor for a small car driven as you say. My 2-litre diesel Mondeo will reliably do well over 50 mpg in the same conditions, and is a comfy old barge into the bargain.
small cars are crap on motorways because their rev ranges are optimal for city driving. on the motorway they have to rev much higher than a saloon car.0 -
