Seems better value then to run a V8 'cos next year V6 & V8 owners will be paying the same VED rates.

Driver expressions (performance related!)
V6

CDT :lol:
V8

An update guys. I've just spent a couple of weeks doing nothing but short city runs, and have pushed her a bit more than usual. Result?

15 mpg! Oh uh!

Don't care really, as its just such a buzz to be driving her. I might be a bit lighter on the throttle though!

...and now the Fuel is down to 99.9p per litre (well around here anyway)
you can afford to DRIVE again.

I have just completed a round trip to Scotland and recorded 27MPG mainly motorways but I still think thats very credible for a 4.6 litre motor.
Also when having to spend 5 hours at a time in a car the 75 V8 is as good as it gets

Premium unleaded (95) is now the equivalent of 68 p a litre here and 98 is 72 p a litre equivalent.

Wot you mean 'trying'???:lol:

Thinking about it, perhaps using 'clever' and 'Zeb' in the same sentence is an oxymoron itself . . .

Whereas using words like 'trying' and 'Tourerfogey' in the same sentence would merely be accurate....
