To be honest my trip to the post office was very sedate and peaceful, in my Mitsubishi Turbo diesel, Auto 4X4. It does about 30 MPG and although "unexciting" to drive, I love the leather seats, duel Air-con and lofty driving position. Just right for a "pillar of the community"!

I gotta have my two cents... I thought I was getting rubbish mileage from the D but it turns out I did Portsmouth to Gaydon and back on £28... I reckon it's just over 300 miles too! My Calibra will do 160mph... and I can get 30mpg from it... :oD Of course.. it's all about the cubes baby!
