It's a kind of magic - Rover 75 that is !!

Scenario - left work this evening with about just over 1/8 of a tank lleft- trip computer stating I had 80 Miles range and my average mpg about 35.
Reset trip computer
Then went from Peterborough to Lutterworth in Leicestershire about 60 odd miles, doing between 70-80 on A14 listerning to classic FM, wafting along getting an average 48 MPG.
Did the business in Lutterworth - more later (let's say I'm now soon to be a member of the silver brigade

) back to Peterborough no fill up - again 70-80 on way back, got back mpg at 49.5 on round trip of 120+ with trip range now of 58 miles. I doesn't get any better.

I put a tenner in the old girl just to be nice - I'm going to miss her!!!
