Holiday Mileage doing Excellent.

JohnDotCom · 3rd August 2008, 18:06

I have just returned from my break in South Wales (Tenby based).
I filled up before leaving and covered 594 miles.
On return it was just under Quarter full.
Filled up this afternoon and it works out at 51.9MPG.

Excellent I feel, no problems at all except the theft of Rear Number Plate at Aberystwyth Steam Railway Station.

Been driving around ever since without one.
Crazy Law can't get replacement till I have Registration Document and Drivers Licence to produce,
now who carriers them?
Air Con always on 60F.
No Motorways, average speeds 56MPH to 65mph on runs.
Computer indicates 55.6MPG so approx 10% out.

Sorry to here about the theft of your plate....definately report it to the police, just in case you start getting speeding / parking tickets....

Sorry to hear that they stole your number plate. People like that have no respect for other people properties.

Nice going with the mpg

As petrol driver I'm jealous on that. Just been on a 5 day brake to Denmark, mpg was only 28 but have to say that most of the 1100 miles was in Germany and speed was 75 to 110 mph

The R75 is such a nice car that driving at that speed is effortless.

Cheers David.
I have done that just in case.
It was them that said to drive around without when I queried not being able to get replacement whilst away.

A Great Break thanks, and needed.

Crammed loads in, think I now need a Holiday to recover.
