I do keep bringing this up with my mate when he complains about his ST's economy, he has lead foot disease as well at times ;D Not sure if it helps when i mention that my aging Discovery is returning 35 mpg though ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 all on your emissions now bill, so yes it can be low for a big hp car, willl never happen on petrols mind Yes true Sean. I can't see myself now going back to a petrol head. The A4 gives me the power for towing and performance I like and the fuel economy is good too. The other week I came back up the road from the Glamis Castle show with a fully loaded car (folks and all our gear) plus trailer and tractor behind and the average consumption over the journey was 28.5 MPG and that was sitting at 60 MPH when I could.

BC Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 A bang from the washing machine and went to the utility room to find it dead with no lights on. Pulled it out and replaced the fuse. Switched back on and two electrical bangs and smell from the bottom of the machine. Just a week under two years old which hasn't lasted well at all.
