I am sure he doesn't either, unless that is when he is standing still or being towed! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

Unless at a silly slow speed.

30mpg from a diesel yes but not a V8..Unless he free wheels everywhere.. ;D ;D ;D
-
A kit car with a Rover V8 struggles to get 30mpg.....so a house brick with one fitted sticks no chance!
-
Maybe he's got a particularly large rust hole in the driver's side floorpan that allows him to use a hybrid "fred flintstone" drive system meaning he only has to fire up the V8 when maximum performance is required.

I had trouble getting 30mpg from a diesel Disco 3 I borrowed a couple of years back... ...may have been my lead foot though.... ::)

What option do you have though, no lead foot = no go!

Considering the size, weight, and the fact it is as aerodynamic as a brick, and not forgetting its tractor engine, I was pleasantly surprised with its performance. Won't win many races, but by no means a slug.

Must be, as my tractor has some aerodynamic plus points. Sod all else going for it, obviously (he says gingerly, hoping it will get him to the slums of Manchester (aka Salford) and back tomorrow)

One of the reasons I wanted a Jaguar XJ8 (which I never got) was because it had a deeply recessed speedo not visible from the passenger seat. :)
My (non-driver) wife goes into panic mode if I go above 75. :( For some strange reason, we don't get out much these days :-/

Just keep it planted. They go quiet again when you reach 3 figures. ;D

Never in a million years will he get 30mpg average!!! Perhaps he's going off a display which is being fooled, i.e. being re-set whilst rolling at steady speed, downhill with the wind behind!! ;D ;D
