What does the book say you should be getting? I had a 2.0 Rover that only did about 23-25 until I got the engine rebuilt and head worked then I was in the 30's most of the time!

mk1gtev6 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default fuel consumption

I got that licked, put £20 in my littel fiat chinq and i managed to do 230 miles.... ok it is iritatingly slow..... terrible in the wet and the car ramdomly overheats but loving the long distance driving (not for the comfort, thats pretty bad too).

That being said when the mk1 v6 astra is on the road i'm gonna need to to re morgage the house to keep it on the road :P

That chainsaw rocks.

I am also guilty of leaving the sterio cranked up. For comedy effect, do it in the wifes/girlfriends car.

I recorded a custom CD - last weeks morning show starting at 8:30 on quiet levels then I added a bit really loud with a soppy message to kick in at 8:47 when my wife parks at work - it worked really well! Scared the life out of her mind
