• Driving in Europe - Questions 8 Nov 2008 (Forum)

• Driving slower 21 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  This is quite a shocking statistic in itself and makes walking to the local corner shop to buy milk, (at twice the supermarket price) look good value! Anyway, yesterday I had to drive a 540+ mile round-trip to Devon using the M6/M5 from the Northwest, I left early and cruised at approximately 10MPH slower than I would normally drive. My total time driving for the entire trip was about 1 hour more than the "norm" at 9 hours (12% increase), but my fuel consumption was 15% less than normal at 38MPG.
