Bush Tucker Man:
I recently turned in my worst MPG figure since I bought it.

This was due to a hired 10' x 6' Ifor-Wiilliams box-trailer that was loaded up for a trip over to Todmorden.


With that I did about 150miles which included M62 (home to jct 24), up through Sowerby Bridge, Luddenden Foot, Hebden Bridge & then to 'Tod'.
Plus a small bit of exploring on the way home.
That gave a figure of 27-'point something' :shock:


Conversely, today, I've done home to Bridlington (to collect something from SWMBO who's over at the 'Posh Porta-Cabin')
So it was; M62, A1. A64, B166( the Stamford Bridge/Garrowby Hill road), Fimber, Sledmere & Rudston.
Brimmed it on departure (half-mile from home) & again at the same garage on return.
Todays figure was; 34.37
Not a bad figure for a really grotty day with some stop-start traffic on the A64

Stormin:
Been keepig a check on my mpg since getting the Ally Sport intercooler fitted.  Each time I fill up I record how much fuel.  I don't work out refill to refill but over several.  Up to press, with mixed usage.  Daily running, (heavy foot), towing caravan or mini digger, 33mpg.  Engine is an Isuzu 2.8.

That's damn good for an average with a loaded trailer/BWSOW hitched up, & it's not exactly flat up there either

Stormin:
I don't think I'll complain, Richard.  :D
