We dont all drive fuel guzzling she-it heaps :D

I can do the round trip on 1.5 gallons at 57 mpg on the M ways
E7 should be around 44 mpg for the same run

That's right Skip, but an E7 would need a new anti roll bar after a long job like that! :roll: I'm with jim on this one £2.35 a mile. Thats a 5p per mile discount. :P

Nah, there hardly any pot holes on the M ways.
Some fecking big ones in Edinburgh though I'm just wondering why the cabs are not roped together up there they are that deep
You could use the WC ramps if they where stronger to get across them :lol:
