check on spirit monitor or fuelly, 50mpg is not a heavy drinker, Nige only gets 38mpg (old leadfoot)

Nige, I wonder how many extra jobs you squeeze in over a shift and what the extra income is vs the reduced mpg and increased tyre/brake wear..... plus i get tips from passengers appreciative of a steady driver........

I don't drive fast when I've got punters on board. It's all about the top line, MPG doesn't bother me.

If I'm in town I wait where I am, if I have PDA job I proceed in a stately fashion, they can wait

Strange, for most people it is all about the bottom line. the top line is usually revenue and the bottom line is profit.
