Which its "after market" software will confirm quite happily ;-)

(even if it only ever records 15 miles a week of motoring)


And 0.5mpg... Which raises the other "problem" with road pricing,
there is little incentive to go for a more economic vehicle (as in
mpg) if a majority of the driving you do is on "cheap" roads. A
"cheap" road would be one less than about 8p/mile which is roughly the
current duty element of fuel costs.
