Ever visted the scummy place called romford 1?

Not covered by my DC I'm afraid (although I have been to Romford many times and yes, its scummy! )

Whats going to happen when they switch to rail and water for transporting ?

When they switch? They already have!

Most of Tesco's Scottish stores are supplied from Daventry via Rail - and then trucks take the product to stores from Tesco’s Distribution Centre at Livingston in Scotland.

The boxes behind the train with "Less Co2" on them are Tesco containers, each one effectively cutting out a truck journey from England to Jocksville.

As for delivery, until they put canals & rail roads through all of the UK's towns I think you'll see plenty of trucks still doing shop deliverys (and every other kind of delivery tbh)

Tonights MPG....

11.16MPG not bad considering I was loaded for about 90% of the shift!

Just returned 237 miles after a 50 litre brim so thats about 21.5MPG. Tiny bit of motorway but that is mainly all urban driving and booting it. Well, booting a 2001 2.0 litre Peugeot 406 glx barge as much as it can be booted.

Managed a maximum of 50 Litres per Hour today.

Average 16.6 Litres per Hour

I can do my house to plymouth, so basically 10 miles north of bodmin - plymouth, and my car will actually GO UP in how many miles it says left.

Typical example : 490m left on startup, 530m left when i get there (if i drive mostly off boost).

but on average and mostly caining around i get 530miles to £56.

just added another fuel-up to my fuelly account. since i passed my test ive been using the car a fair bit so im trying to be as economical as possible while not sitting doing 10mph. drive under the speedlimit normally in as high a gear as possible.
coasting to a stop or down hills and then after a traffic jam i normally put my foot on the floor for a bit after.

My Discovery 3 TDv6 gets about 23mpg but I do tend to cane it a lot, My Impreza a lot less but I've never bothered to work it out.

slower isn't necessarily better....

Neither is using the highest gear possible.

Neither is coasting to a stop necessarily - depending on the car, most diesels use no fuel when slowing down under no throttle, but they need fuel to keep the engine turning when coasting

Thats absolutely appalling, its either broken or you're ragging it to death

Bump


Added my work van today and put the previous two fill ups on. Most trips are under 8 miles and going through towns with the occasional longer trip on dual carriage ways.

 

[Nick1881]

I decided to start doing this, no info yet until my text fuel up.

 

[Confused]

From my "Road Trip" application on my phone:

Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 - 2.5 V6 twin turbo, 4wd, automatic:

Mitsubishi Galant V6-24 - 2.5 V6, manual:

Yellow line = price per litre
Solid white line = MPG
Dashed blue line = moving average


Probably worth noting that the A/C on the Galant was fixed around the 3rd fillup...

Also, the VR-4 hasn't really been used in "anger" recently
