Re: [doc] Mileage

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We filled up in a place called Malton (bad memory for names, definitely 
began with an M! It's lust NW of Newcastle, inside the A1) The light 
came on going past Baldock, so at least another 20 miles left in the 
tank by the time I got back to Stevenage. We used the A1 from end to 
end, stopped a couple of times adding maybe 2 miles or so. I was making 
no particular attempt to use the throttle lightly, and was able to 
cruise at 90 most of the time.

Not quite up to the record my Xantia set during last weeks' move. Three 
return trips to Reading from Kent, towing my trailer, half the time with 
the car and trailer fully loaded and the light came on at 687 miles!!! I 
wasn't keeping to 60mph either. That would mean an easy 750 before 
needing fuel!
