General 10,000 mile barrier

I notice that others here have hinted at this. My 4x4 seems to have more power and better economy (thank God) since passing the 10,000 mile mark. Used less fuel on a recent Sunderland to Preston trip than my daughter's Fiesta 1.25 Zetec which pleased me.

It is written that the 4x4 1.2 Panda is not the sharpest knife in the box when it comes to fuel economy. Mine at 3000 miles just about reaches 40MPG round town. About the same on the motorway. Engine is getting torqueyer all the time tho'.

As the car get more "run in", acceleration & fuel economy should improve.
