I don't like fish. I have a battered sausage. Or Peas.
Is this considered off topic?
Yes
You have done 120m and the range is still reading 420, add on the additional 30m or so that you can get past the 0 range and that is around 570m
Not a chance, i carried out this test quite a few times (on long motorway runs) and best i managed was low 400's (418 IIRC)
Can't see you getting 570 to a tank, that would be 47.5mpg average over the whole tank. (570/12)
jesus , i struggle with that in the derv
as for mpg etc
you woulnt buy a ferarri or lambo if you couldnt affort to tax or insure it would you ?
iw as looking into the R's when chosing my car , but background checking the inusrance , tax and mpg didnt fit my bill as i too like to venture off places , spirited drives at the right times / place etc so chose the cupra diesel
half the insurance tax miles til empty is much better in my eyes , but in the future i may jump ship again who knows , but common sense comes into play for day to day life , dont accelorate rapidly to 70 and your gona save the fuel dont do blast around in terential rain when you know you cant stop / see react intime to stop suddenly
as for driving , i think they should bring out more stringent tests , even if you have to have so many hours of driving before alloing a test or drive with passengers etc etc
when i passed my test in 2002 , not once was there ever a mention about what to do in a blow out scenario
what happens exactly a year to the day i passed , yes a blow out , i panic WTF was that , traveling around a bend
I brake sharply and suddenly
car locks up and lanches me off the road basically , ended up upside down resting against a church wall (the actual building ) took out a metal fence and the stone wall before it
and next thing i know im upside down on my roof resting agaist the gas mains into the building , kicking my way out the front windscreen (and yes i wasnt wearing a seatbelt )
so yes i do count my blessings and thanked god he was at home when i passed
so if they made us to skid pans etc , different conditions blah blah then i would have know / reacted differently
i then got put on a driver improvement scheme which aided my skills
plus having a child and being put through various tests for driving compoany vehicles does have a second thought about it
on a second note , wearing a seat belt malarky , as above i survived my ordeal yet a girl i once new had a crash as a passenger and died because her belt damaged her so badly internally her arteries stopped functioning etc
so .,,.,..,
as for the OP pointing it out , hes merly trying to
help/ point out his findings which may / may not be appropriete /interests to some or all of you
job done
