Cost me £15 to fill up at Horley - got £20 of Shell Vpower as well to try out, they had to do 2 transactions!!!!

Anyway now got an adult boy chipmunk, fuel & CM is still less than from a pet shop.

Car was great - it soaks up the miles came off M40 on may back at Banbury then headed back via Wellsbourne - forgot my camera - saw XM655.

Road was nice but couldn't push it due to small animal

I'm confused about my consumption recently...700 mile trip....journey there not towing anything 17 mpg journey back, no noticable difference in hills etc 18mpg towing an Omega saloon behind me...how weird...rough running needs sorting to get better mpg I know but still you would think the extra weight would put the mpg down not up!
