I had a meeting in Cardiff today.
I drove, on the way there I tucked the nose of the car under the bumper of an hgv.
As a result my 2.3 litre, 5 cylinder high pressure turbo petrol engine did 38.5 mpg for 145 miles- take that Hans Diesel!
On the way back I wanted to get home so went 40 mph faster than before.
Total result- 300 miles travelled, 30.8 mpg in total, approx £50 in fuel at today's prices.
I challenge anyone to do what I did today for the same cost with another form of transport.
Bear in mind you must arrive in a suit.
