Should have said I'm having to do Huntingdon to Oxford and back at least once a week at the moment.

I think I could almost drive the route with my eyes closed now.

Always the way buddy + i had to load the kayak on the roof rack, it was also nice to drive the bongo for a good distance on my own and listen to my cd's and give her a long run to get her up to temp for a reasonable length of time. :D

Just done Corby (tank brimmed @ Morrisons) - Huntingdon - Oxford - Clacton that's 306 miles and just brimmed again with 51 litres.

Exactly 6 miles per litre & @ 4.5461 litres/gallon thats 4.5461 x 6mpg = 27.2766mpg

90% of that was at 70mph on cruise control with odd bursts up to <cough) 90 to get past dawdlers in the middle lane. :roll:
