e.g.

car : Ford focus

Fuel : Petrol

Engine and size : zetec 16v 1.6

tyres : 2 corsa 60 on the front 2 klebers on back

when was last serviced : 2 weeks ago

i got off £45.06 one fill up of £35.06 then £10

a wopping 55.6mpg for a petrol thats !Removed! good i mean i was doing mostly 50mph and 60 mph but even round the city now i can get up to 40mpg off £35 what do you lot get

bearing in mind i go from

1st --------2nd 2000rpm

2nd -------3rd 2500rpm

3rd -------4th 3000rpm

4th -------5th 2500rpm
