For the last few weeks my D' has been my sole transportation for
getting to work. (Tam has nicked my Alfa (sob...:-( )
Mind you the upside is that I don't have to keep fixing her MGF
now we have sold it.
I have just been keeping a eye on the amount of fuel I have been
using. I do about a 35 mile round trip to work each day (6 day week
at the mo) and I have been putting in about £35 worth of Unleaded a
week.
This does not seam that bad.
