Hmmm :chin:

Fizzle....

prob worth saying how to do it

293 miles
29L = 6.37911

293/6.37911 =45.93 mpg

Nope

Still looks like witchcraft to me

 

[Focus Owner]

so get your miles out, 293
then convert liters to gallons go to google and type 29 liters to gallons
then divide 293 by 6.37911 to get your mpg

Have they blamed it on "global warming" yet ?

facebook to me is the electronic equivalent of graffiti, I do not care for the minutiae of life expressed as if it were headline news.

I haven't used facebook in 3 joyous years

Well apart from the past two years it snowed on my birthday 3 years on the trot! (Birthday is late March)

When did tw(i)ts start driving Audis instead of BMWs...? I know this has been referenced on Top Gear a few times: but the number of badly-driven Audis I encountered (usually tailgating me at speed...) over the weekend was horrendous.... (I drove a series of Audi 100s and A6s until about ten years ago -- but am almost now ashamed to admit to it...)

Tailgating issues are annoying and dangerous but also the issue of people driving too slow. I got stuck behind someone doing 15mph on a 60 limit A road. Its a wide open road, no traffic. Car in front doing 15mph :bang: Too dangerous to overtake so just sat there dawdling along....

I know where you're coming from: but it's consistently happening to me when I'm driving at the speed limit (or thereabouts...)!

On our local road, into the nearest town, most of the time the limit is 50 or 60; and yet these tailgaters think that we should all be doing 80 -- evn on the wrong side of the road on blind bends and crests....

The thing that prompted my original post, though, was the number of times I was tailgated on the motorway, when I was doing 70 in the middle lane, overtaking.... This very rarely happened in my big 4x4; and therefore feels like I'm being bullied.... And, the majority of the time, it was blummin' Audis... -- and, quite frequently, women drivers -- which surprised me.... Obviously aggression is the new norm....

Oh yeah motorway tailgaters are the worst. I had a silly woman in Renault Twingo sitting right up my bum, it was dry conditions so in snowy conditions I would've been so angry. Anyhow she was no more than 3ft from my bumper at 70mph, I gradually slowed to 60 to try and get her to pass but she didn't exactly I dabbed my brakes and she overtook. Caught up with her further on in traffic, unfortunately my poor manners and angry meant I may have given her the finger as I passed. It angers me how dangerous people can be on the roads and not even acknowledge it.

i find most tailgaters to be women too, i thinks its because i'm hot though and they want to see me in my mirrors

Maybe its the rabbit. My dwarf rabbit is a proper bird puller.
