Pumps at Towcester working Tuesday morning.  Just as well, as I had this strange bleeping noise all the way there, and petrol gauge was falling fast

some dodgy fitter installed that then, if you cant turn it off?
 

Toying with wiring it up to the airbag, so when I run low, it will do a better job of attracting my attention...   

Hard to mount the gauge in mini-facelift, mine had perfect mount point, easily viewable.

That said i do go by mileage only, as red light comes on at 310 miles, and i can do 400 to a tank of gas

i guess I could do 300+m on my (smaller) tank if I really did a motorway commute, rather than the dealing with the usual retards on the road, including the retarded council, who being a bunch of useless, incompitent retards, do the retarded thing that retards do of starting to dig up the roads during the rush hour.  I did open the window, call them a bunch of useless incompitent retards, but being the retarded retards they are, just looked back at me like a bunch of retards.

Rant over. For now.

Rant not over.  This is approximately 6 months after the senior retards aplogised on TV about being a bunch of retards, yet the retards fix the same bit of broken road, as the retards ballsed it up the first time around, and break the promise of not starting non urgent repairs during rush hour.  But being retards like they are....

Crikey TB!, I thought you said you weren't stressed enough to see a quack?   If you keep that up, IR you won't have any option mate

Good commute today then

Don't go there.  My boss started going there this morning, as I rolled in 30mins late.  Needless to say, he quickly found something else to do...

I can get 350ish on a tank if commuting at about 80ish... 300 on the normal run around I do almost every time

I think I may have a problem in that case - I got 270 out of that first tank (decent 70 - 85mph commute back mostly), tank needs a tweak, but thats only another 5 litres (25m)

I think its appropriate to get a spot of road rage whilst in the car.  Pointless getting a bout of road rage whilst laying on the sofa, is it not?

Mine occasionally drops that low... Don't forget it was the first run... Virgin system, lots of idle and calibration. You'll probably find it improves over the next few tanks

And 270+25=295... About right IMO

Does that mean the oil problem is cured? I may have missed an update

No, oil problem not sorted yet.  I haven't often gone in to 3 figures, honest.  Not been floored either.  I do work in Milton Keynes, so there is a small amount of stop/start

I've managed to get it down to 250 when driving in town the big smoke a lot. Oh... And I've had sub 150 miles with the Pikey Box on the back!

[tunnie]

mine has got better over course of a few tanks, but that could be down to weather. Managed to crack 27mpg on gas!

And?

mpg is a useless comparison! Work in pence per mile and you realise how much you're saving

10.6p from last tank

My commute is 1m through brackley, 10m on a43 at a decent cruise, drag through towcester, 50mph cruise down a5 (assuming the retards aren't being retards), then a bit of dual carriageway across MK (no roundabouts), then about 3m through Bletchley.  A commute on petrol, I easily get over 25mpg even when driving more energetically

I still like to use mpg, as i can double it. With LPG being less than half the price of petrol, 27mpg means at least 54mpg
