B Various repmobiles C 205 GTI D Mad granny in a Hyundai coupe E Various loony truckers on the A74 or whatever it is... F 4 of us in the car and a boot full of luggage G A tendancy to roll the window down on the country roads and listen to the coupe on full chat - H 4 service station stops for occassional coffee cig - leg stretch - child slap - and general boredom busters... The 373 mile journey from Warwick to Stranraer took precisely 5 hours 18 minutes and 37 seconds. This leads me to assume that maintaining optimum fuel efficiency speeds will deliver great fuel savings ....but you know what???? THATS NEVER GONNA FCCUKING HAPPEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy driving "Storm Brewing" +

My best in the Accord is 470 miles (55 litre tank) and that included a lot of in gear coasting, changing at 2Krpm and getting in a lot of people's way! I usually get 320 miles in the Coop when on the prowl = off boost as long as possible and in-gear coasting with the odd blat when an "excuse" arises. A 340Bhp, 300lb/ft powered thread hijacker
