changed alternator……   now getting ,  consistently,   about 5mpg more out of the beast…..


seriously…..  wales,  the week before last,  pre alternator…     M6-A55 stuff…  ,   23.8 mpg round trip average. only light load on board…   (wife daughter and a suitcase)

Brighton,  this bank holiday weekend   (for work :(  )  ,  29.1 round trip MPG


less than £50 to brighton and back…..    with a full load on board, (couple hundred kg of tools and ladders and stuff) and not driving like miss daisy.



Flippin nora…..  and given the fuel economy over the last year…..  wondering how long the alternator has been dragging it down…..
