new car

[stewie732]

not everyones taste, but i like it. going to order some coils and that will do me for a while i think.

vtech is costing me alot on petrol...

think i have done 800 miles already and its cost about 200 quid. does that sound about right?

i think i worked it out roughly before the 800 miles at between 25-30mpg, which is fine.

£200 for 800 miles seems a little excessive.

we did 420 miles at the weekend, a mix of motorways and dorsets roads on a tank and a half.

roughly £65 at a guess.

[stewie732]

what mpg is 200quid for 800 miles? the calc takes too much thinking just now...

im guessing about 20.

edit: 200 quid should be arund 40 gallons.

so i dont think its been quite as much as that.

probably the hooning mpg of 25 ave.

25mpg / 800 miles = 32 gallon

32 / 0.22 = 145lts @ 1.10p = £160

not according to Clarkson, but he clearly wasn't driving the new one properly in that episode of TG.

so you think a car with the same power, worse rear suspension set up, ie cheaper torsion bar, more weight is better?
