• Car thread survey - I always fill the tank to the brim when I refuel, never occurred to me not to do so. Who else does this, and who is shaking their head thinking “no mate, £30 every time”?

    At 17mpg? £30 wouldn't even get me to the end of the road. Full tank every time. Given the car weighs over 2 tons, there's no point in doing anything else.

  • 17mpg is interestingly lower than mine- I get 23mpg with bikes on the roof and around 28 without, with an additional half litre displacement. Wonder if it’s a higher compression ratio or more modern engine management? Of course, you have two more cylinders- but smaller engine over all.
