Default Today I returned this !!!!



OK before you get excited and think I have cracked the most amazing feat and managed to get a scooby to a MPG never thought of..

I did it in the new run about I just got hahha

I got so excited that I had to say.. I dont even get this in my Derv Car..

If only a scooby could return such I be made up..

Never normally give a flying feck about petrol costs or prices. But its got that bad of late and likely to get worse that I've swapped my E46 M3 for a deisal which will happily return 50mpg no matter how I drive it.

And do you know what..... for the type of driving I will be doing in this car its really nice and packs a punch just where you need and want it, and thats without a remap.

Sadly at the price petrol/diesal is now and 50mpg v's 20mpg, you can't ignore it anymore.

Rob, so true.. as we discussed before I went out and got that Zafira ok I was a little boyish and got the CDTi Design 150 model lol but it still returns a bloody good MPG and with the interior and the sporty looks I love it, the scooby well £20 means 20 miles haha but thats not a bad thing if only using every so often so I said goodbye to that one and was looking for one I could really enjoy and in the mean while picked up a Fiat Punto Sporting 1.2 16v and you know what.. its a fun drive.. country road driving is great (not as good as scooby) but when I return back home I have used next to no fuel.. love it
