    1000 mile round trip - stress free

    .... and I didn't take the S500 ! However, I did consider it and decided not to. We had the privilege of being invited to London on my own steam for a weekend at the behest of a company rep that we deal with. Concert tickets and a nice stay in a very nice hotel. "Just get here !" So I...

    First long trip mpg.

    Drove down to South Wales last week and on the way saw 47mpg after the first 200 miles. After 1350 miles of mainly motorway with the rest urban trips the average ended up at just over 45 mpg. Very pleased as my day to day driving gives me just 35 mpg.:D

    CLK 220CDi Road Trip

    What with the volcano and air travel disruption, air tickets to Hamburg for the Europa semi-final might be a waste of time. Could have access to a 2008 CLK 220CDi to drive it - what fuel consumption can I expect for a high speed 'four-up' return trip via the Eurotunnel?
