Hello all,

Just spent a week at Brockenhurst in the New Forest. Lovely place.
Omega towed the caravan like a dream again. Even managed (according to the computer) 20mpg on the way back (I reset the computer before leaving).

What I did notice on the way back was that if I stayed behind a lorry at 55mph (pleny of space though)
, the gearbox stayed mostly in top gear. Perhaps it's like Formula 1 where you get caught in the drag.

Definitely makes a difference, I used to have to go to Bristol a lot and if I took it easy behind a big van ( lorries are too slow) you could hear the wind noise die off and the mpg increase slightly. Boring though

Nice area if you get nice weather, glad you enjoyed it

. Shame about the bloody tourists though

Omegas should be in top on a 55mph cruise, maybe just stepping down in inclines (or were you towing?)

Doh! Just saw you were towing, which would explain the 55mph anyway
