PhilA Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Just arrived home. Reset the trip 36 miles away and drove the journey. 31.3 US, which is 37.5 UK MPG. Big cars with big engines are very inefficient, obviously. Phil eddyramrod, loserone, LightBulbFun and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louiepj Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Our garden is L shaped with a cemetery one side and allotments on the other and also backs onto a park and we have two albino squirrels that spend a lot of time in the trees or running along our fences bordering our garden. Though I can never get a picture of both of the squirrels together Mrs6C and Roobarb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 5 hours ago, somewhatfoolish said: Yessum, Miss Daisy. Just normal driving and holding 55 mph on the way home. It gets better miles per gallon at 55 than it does at 40, which for me is a first. Normally 40-45 has been the "peak economy" speed, where top gear just engages and wind drag is at a minimum for engine RPM. somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I was impressed with the 30+ mpg on my Chrysler when I drove it home from Scotland. That was the last time I ever saw that figure, local trips saw it well under 20mpg, but it sounded wonderful PhilA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Picked up four litres of 10W 40 semi synth from Tesco for £4. Not seen it that cheap in a long while. Might have to treat the Carina E to an oil change... Corks finest and DoctorRetro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Cadillac STS did the same - it would get 30 mpg ish at 55mph on the flat, drop that to 45mph and it'd drop to 28. PhilA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 What makes me grin? At the moment, it's the reaction to Huggy.

Would probably be fine but I erred on the side of caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked at bit like those Nixie tube things, but very much miniaturised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
