1 week in and all's well

good to see another high miler on here, even if its a MK2 (which I actually prefer)

my average MPG is 38.9 and 480 miles to a tank, but then again it's all twisty back roads and towns, I don't touch many dual carriageways and done 50,000 since November... tyres go quick on mine, oh and brakes,,

One of my regular trips is down to clays at bungay,at least once a week,thankfully it's usually later in the day arriving there around 8pm-ish, hate the A17 and A46 during the day,I'm sure the tractors hide in wait planning a slow moving roadblock haha,not changed tyres or brake pads/shoes yet, mechanic actually said i need to use the brakes more or I'll be having problems with them seizing through lack of use haha, I consider it a personal letdown if I don't get at least 750 to my tank,but i don't fly about and often im carrying very little weight,probably more in my snapbox than the item i'm delivering :-)....Ian

Good job you weren't using my Berlingo, or you'd be spending your time standing on the motorway waiting for the RAC. lol.
