« on: 05 October 2006, 16:04:38 »
just before i came down to uni i fitted a brand new GM exhaust cat back, the old one was blowing. Thanks to TC saved a HUGE amount of cash... (thanks Jaime )
Not driven it for about 2 weeks, took it out yesterday to meet a friend. put air in the tyres since it had been still for 2 weeks and let it warmed up....
Reset the MPG computer, left tesco & took a blast down the M4, set the cruise dead on 70 mph.. 30 miles odd. Flipped to the MPG just as i was getting off the M4, read 43.8 MPG!
Then did about 10 mins of town driving lot of roundabouts & lights getting to my friends, once i parked up checked again read 39.4 MPG
Uni going well, friend i went to see had just finished the course i am doing.... wanted to see their work since it got them a First
