I'm in communication with someone on a car enthusiast forum who lives in the highlands and often travels to Wiltshire. He's been doing it for years. He always gets better MPG coming south compared to going north and he has observed this on more than one car.
This is a phenomenon that may of us up here have noticed too, the journey is also slightly longer.
When I was driving my old 230E I could get from North Ayrshire to Norwich exactly 400 miles on a single tank of petrol yellow light would be on once I got there. On the way home I always had to do a splash and dash st some point just before Glasgow. Probably somewhere between 5-10 litres was required.
I really would love to know why this is.
A friend aslo did West Sussex to Ayrshire and moaned a lot about it too.0
