My ‘company car’ is in the workshop for some major updates so I’m in a hire car for a week or so. After months of being pointed at, chased and photographed a little anonymity beckoned. So I asked for a Golf.
Sixt have given me a Bluemotion model which did my West London to Norfolk run at a staggering 72.4 mpg. That’s 3 times as good as what I’m now used to!
Granted, it does take about 3 times as long to get to 60mph, but the journey was covered in exactly the same time and in a reasonable degree of comfort.
My ‘old’ CLS was twice as economical as ‘the beast’ but 3 times….makes you think doesn’t it!
