A rather circuotous (sp) route saw me clock 204 miles, which in hindsight was a mistake what with now having to take the engine out this weekend to replace the crank rear oil seal. Hopefully I haven't shagged the clutch with oil

Rob Duke (robbydee) did approx 540m round trip from Truro and back in his Tiger Cat (I did approx 400+miles of those sat in his passenger seat after he picked me up 'en route' in Plymouth.)

700+ round trip for me

450 miles (8 hours ish) round trip in wife's tintop (Punto 1.2 ), used about £35 quids worth of tesco's finest.

A Robin Hood came down from Edinburgh so I think that was just a bit over the 600 for the round trip.

Just be grateful you dont drive a petrol Land Rover at 16mpg (4 pot) or 18mpg for a V8
Even my Diesel Landy manages 24mpg.
You are not alone in your pain.

PS... V8 Viento does 26mpg @ 80 mph cruising and a nice 3000rpm
I did just under 200 miles round trip to Stoneleigh.
Not a lot between any of them!

A V8.... Will pass everything on the road ... Except a Petrol Station
