It's sad to see how numbers of various cars have plummeted and dwindled to just a few examples remaining.
OP

The numbers for 1994 - I'm not sure about SORN as they don't seem to report on this so may be included in the number or may not be.
The latest figure I used (2013) was both registed and SORN combined in Q4 of the year. So basically all non crushed Panda's.
What I meant was there are two columns for each year (2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013) Is one for Sorn and one for Taxed cars and is the number taken from Q4? If thats the case some of the cars may be sorned in the Q4 period (over the winter) but actually be road legal so will show as Sorn rather than licensed.
There was no such thing as Sorn in 1994 so I guess those numbers will be for taxed cars only.

Not at all off topic..... Are you running Serge on Super Unleaded? That's great mpg but the cost per litre is
Super shouldn't theoretically make any difference in a Panda. (Which was designed for unleaded), but it would be interesting to see if the mpg changed on regular!

Aye. It was super. BP on way back didn't have any so stuck some regular in.

That's a pampered Panda if it's going to live on Super. I'd be saving the extra 12ppl towards another Panda! :idea:

Lol. But the thing is with Super is it's usually the same price where ever you buy it (ie on a motorway service station). Also all my fun card run on top vroom juice
it's only a small tank anyway

Fair enough. I paid 1.269 just off the motorway having gone a funny colour at 1.399 at the motorway services (that was normal unleaded!!). The fuel prices website told me it was 13ppl cheaper just round the corner, saving £4.29 and a small seizure!
Panto may get the odd super unleaded treat but it's a learning ECU and will readjust for the second tank.
I'll probably get an even better pickup for the first tank (the old Punto did, as does the Coupe), but I'll just waste money to keep doing it. Anyway to keep it on topic the Sorned VIP is mine!

Maybe not.... :nono:
Extensive -- and extremely OCD-like -- research has shown that my Punto achieves better economy (measured in pence per mile) using Shell's V-Power Nitro+ (I think that's what it's called, nowadays), compared to their 'normal' unleaded -- between 1.0 and 1.5p per mile, in fact...!
Mind you, I drive like a saint (who mentioned Captain Slowly...?!); and do mostly 50 mph roads; with only a small proportion of both town driving and motorways.
Subjectively, the car feels smoother, and slightly 'keener', too; and I would hope that the innards are cleaner, as a result. I found that it takes two to three tankfuls before the ECU fully adapts, on mine, by the way: so the initial comparison was done after a dozen or so consecutive tankfuls of each. I've therefore stuck with super unleaded (and always Shell: for consistency, quality, loyalty card points and discounts, etc.) ever since.
Your mileage, as they say, may vary, of course.

Hmm interesting :slayer: So yours is still cheaper even after the price difference?
My experiments (and others, it wasn't just me) were all 10-14 years ago, and the fuels will presumably have changed considerably in that time.
My mileage won't be enough or consistent enough these days to test it properly (Panto will probably not do much more in a year than he did last weekend - unless we go to Italy next year of course!
). I will be able to work out if there's enough change in mpg to offset the significant price increase though - if it more or less does then I'll stick to it. Panto will probably only do 2000-3000 a year, so in real terms a higher cost won't make much difference (I wasn't expecting 49mpg without trying anyway, so this is all Brucie bonus time ).

Thanks :hug:
A was coughing my head off and feeling miserable not sleeping. Bit better sitting up & dosed up, with the touring cars on ITV. Don't know where this cold has come from, but at least it didn't arrive until I'd got back from Scotland. :yuck:
Hope you feel better soon -- and especially for Sunday. Poor thing.... :hug:
I done an experiment in the 750L back in 2006, tesco premium fuel over standard, no noticeable improvement, but then again that's a carved setup, yet to do the same in a modern MPI vehicle.
I have run all my pandas on super unleaded...just seem to run better, or could be the placebo effect.
My diesel trunk definatly does more miles on fuel from Esso, BP etc than cheaper supermarket diesel.

is that the standard BP fuel or BP ultimate? I'm due to fill the Bravo, normally use regular BP fuel but might try the ultimate for a few tanks, see if I can beat the 54mpg average.
