Cornwall
I am pleased to say my Tourer made it to Par Sands in Cornwall and back to Derby with no problem I was a bit nervous as it is nearly 600 miles round trip and never travelled that distance before in it.
It was a pleasure and great drive. |

Out of interest what's the mpg for that sort of a trip like with a 1.8T?

According to the message centre trip it was 38.5 mpg I don't know how accurate that is, but I was doing 70 most of the way back from Cornwall to Derby and used just over half a tank.

Did you mean Praa Sands? Between Helston and Penzance? We'll be taking our 1.8T this year to Helston in a few weeks - Been several times in the CDT down to St Austell. Nothing to be nervous about (any more than any other car).

I've been commuting to and fro to Saltash since January, house hunting, and have used all three of my cars at different times. My mpg readings are;
1.8t ---41.5 on the round trip CDTi----56.2 on the round trip. V8 400--- 3 petrol stations on the round trip. As of the 13/06/18 I'll be living in Saltash.
