I will indeed-cheers for the tip!

Not making bio, will be starting off with a 25% blend (and new filter) then will ramp up to 50%, 75% and possibly as high as 85-90% in the summer.

I will likely try to get some sortnof heating setup to get the filter warmed

First run from cold to the station. 10 mins in town traffic at 8am..

Even if it is 10%optimistic, its still nigh on 42mpg from cold with 100l of veg and 50kg of tools in the boot

Run back from station was a bit better:



But it was to and from brutha_320tourings gaff that it got into its stride (30 mile round trip)







Thats no too bad at all!

Circa 55-60mph. Not doing any p&g currently, just dfco on sliproads/approaches to roundabouts and junctions.
