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 :D

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. :D:D:D

Sounds like the way to go wonder if we could change left and right for some of our so called visitors :rolleyes:

Fancy a game of skittles in preston :p ? I'll make us some rams er wait :eek: bumpers
 
Adelphi roundabout would be a good place to start and then work up through town :D

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.

Yeah I know where you mean, I've had to do a couple of stops there for idiots walking straight out in front of the disco :doh:
