Still Pondering...

I was disappointed on the last tank as tapped, and I pondered whether to go for a change again.

This appeared on my Autotrader alert



Which has some decent stats for FE:

Quote:
Fuel consumption (urban) 51.4 mpg
Fuel consumption (extra urban) 76.3 mpg
Fuel consumption (combined) 64.2 mpg
although it is a bit, er, slow:

Quote:
0 - 62 mph 16.5 seconds
Top speed 97 mph
Cylinders 4
Valves 16 v
Engine power 75 bhp
Engine torque 140 lbs/ft
But "chippable".

It also has the advantage of being bike friendly whereas Helga aint and I'd like to get A Jnr out more in the summer. I will have to get a black and white cat though, and permanently tune the radio into Radio 2.



And then of course Helga does 78 AVG-IMP on the home trip last night

And there is the Paris trip to pay for, although that is under budget and I have two cars to sell...
