In a hire car with damage waiver..yes. In my pride and joy..no! With
someone else driving a van, it's just as good as a roller coaster with
the added fun of no safety net!!

Yes! 41mpg (7 year average of mostly urban and urban motorway with
weekend trips across country) and I *only* drive slowly if I think
there'll be no diesel at the stations en route due to strikes etc. I
still have the 2001 car. Its vitals are (approx) 32, 42, 52mpg and,
unlike more modern diesels, doesn't change too much regardless of use,
or abuse, of the loud pedal.
I've bleated on about just how good these 2001 2.4s are for years,
I've done 85miles from west of Glasgow (start at 18:30) up to Perth
and guess what the sat nav had as my door to door *average* (the one
including stops) speed when I didn't even think I was pu****ng
particularly hard?

Nah, we were based at the Brother-In-Law's (hence the requirement to
visit!) house near Dungloe .

LOL..December, July..what's the difference?? I'm told March to May are
the best months.
