Whilst out and about on holiday I checked fuel useage and she was giving me 46 mpg on the motorways.... and 34 mpg on rural roads.......Annnnnd checked tyre pressures and no tyres needed air

I get as excited when mine performs the same way. It's a bit rubbish that we get excited when our cars do less than a thousand miles without breaking down, losing fluid or drinking like george best on a friday night isn't it ??

May be a little stoopid but if I go on a run for a couple of hundred miles I just jump in and go. I check the oil after I change it.

I do likewise. Even a 1,000 mile round trip in the ZT-T no checking was done
