Happy but feeling a bit daft.
Ive been watching my fuel consumption. Now everything working (intercooler etc) I was happy with 30mpg on the onboard comp which is fairly accurate.
However its US gallons , to convert to UK mpg its x 1.2 so ive actualy been getting 36mpg .............. fantastic

same as shoe sizes I did initially think zippy and whoever told me was taking the piss but when i looked it up it was to do with the US "standardising" the yard (who do they think they are  ) and they used to be different It meant the US mile was about 2 inches less and that led to shall we say international navigation problems but apparently thats been sorted now and theyre all the same. I guess the space program is still confused. Many a word said in jest eh
