Fuel consumption in a 4.6 all down to right foot

Afternoon thought I would share this mainly because I am bored at work but interesting
So at 60 mph my old bus is showing 22/23 to the gallon at 70 showing 18 mpg
and a lot less the faster you go so not bad if you can cruise gently.
Averaging 14/15 mpg around town and I do drive quite hard and all on lpg

Would have thought that was a pretty obvious equation. All automatics will use more fuel around town below torque lock than they do when it's engaged. So we could save a lot if the government raised the speed limits to 50 MPH round town. Pedestrians would soon learn to look both ways then. At least the ones that survived would.

Would be bloody carnage, specially around UNI. Think the first course the students should be put on when they arrive is the green cross code.

Adelphi roundabout would be a good place to start and then work up through town

Seen many a fookwit run out in front of trucks as they're going through town!

The speed bumps on Fylde road near UNI are a menace. Some think they are crossings and just walk straight out in front of you. Bloody idiots. It's a good job it's a 20 MPH area or there would be bodies everywhere.
