Heaviest day yet on the derv..

Up this morning at 6.30am, picked up the car share person and trundled into work- nice clear roads! early in means early out,

back home by 5pm, and nice easy steady driving! results as follows:



200.1 miles on an indicated 1/4 tank


Car sat for 50 mins, then it was off out to pick up my gran (she was coming to visit our new house)

Much shorter return trip, but thankfully still lots of motorway and the car was warm to start with..
needle has moved a bit further in the 33.8 mile round trip, but I imagine its just that the tank is oddly shaped




pretty much a 100 mile day- poor car is in at the deep end.


At the weekend I'm going to service it, and have a good poke round to see what it needs- the front shocks feel soft, so I may be replacing them fairly soon. If it goes for another week after the service I may treat it to a cambelt..

then I can get eco-tuning the engine
