I reckon TBE was 15k, SB 20k, although the latter has a special replenishing system

Now Mr TB, we are supposed to be setting an example.

Oooohhh, I'd expect a bit better, assuming you're running it in a bit.

That (130bhp) one I used for France in 2012, I think I managed about mid 40s from. Much of the bulk of the miles was tedious motorway, but fun was had on more than one occassion, and I was running very late to get to the tunnel on the way out ::). Bearing in mind the other member of the party was in an V6 ash tree Morgan, occasionally some effort was needed to teach him a lesson ;D
