Well, I can, for now... But smaller journies are making me think more and more grabbing the mountain bike....

Thanks for the heads-up, but it seems Eastenders has priority, hence me not being in the lounge.

Improved the fuel consumption on my car by 60% on short journeys, after being in a state of shock at 20 litres to do 60 miles.

Yep, I've seen that series before.

Love the story about the farmhouse in the middle of the M62. Also, motorway services used to serve excellent food and have clean toilets would you believe

Watching ITV now.

Also nice to know that if you have your car remapped you are saving fuel.
Notice there was no mention of telling your insurance company. or the tax man if useing chip fat in your tank.

You can use 2500 litres of chip fat tax-free now, Mike. (per year)

I've noticed "economy remaps" appearing on a couple of other forums. Bit of a buzz word at the moment I think.
