My car is horrible around town (26 mpg) but I have a run to Devon next
month so that should be interesting.

My 4WD auto diesel freelander 1 gets around 38 on a run and as low as 27
round town.

Mind you, its better than a supercharged jaguar, which averaged 11mpg
(and about 11mph) from Apex corner to Putney Bridge one day.

London should be ethnically cleansed.
