Happy but feeling a bit daft.

Wish i could get 36mpg from my troll

As a matter of interest what MPG do you get? I've only driven mine a few hundred miles and it wouldn't rev over 2200 at the time

i knew id read it some place.... just could find a link to post

Im 100% with you on this. I thought they were different like all of the rest of the US measurements .........which are wrong :naughty

I was well surprised. But it is correct. I worked it out a couple of times fuel in/distance travelled rather than the electronics but that was on a good long run and I put the higher figure down to my crap maths :doh

 

[lacroupade]

didt know the figure but they are different i was told :nenau 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 :naughty) and they used to be different :thumb2

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

But any minor differences were sorted in 1959....thus I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier "WTF?" reply....:lol

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

on a different tack (a pun on the international navigation thread)

I met a bloke today with a LWB Maverick 'M' plate who swears his does 50mpg's even towing a trailer with 2 motorbikes, and he has had it since it was six months old. He is a car trader with 35 years experience in the trade and seemed offended when i doubted this figure ... WTF??? :nenau

Id suggest his maths is at fault , either that or Billy Liar lives on
