Hence the saying.....This adds a bit of bite too it
Maybe your workmate isn't getting as many mpg as hoped out of the small diesel, thus he is too embarrassed to say. Fuel being the cost it is today most drivers keep a check on the mpg, I'd be surprised if he doesn't know.Darn in Kent the term is juicy mate very juicy when asked what their car does to the gallon, or the other answer is, doesnt go far on 20 quid
I asked our new workmate who commutes 43 miles each way what his mpg of the diesel Focus was, his answer? dont know! come on you are doing 400 plus miles per week you can be very accurate without even trying?
Agreed absolutely! When we were replacing my wife's last vehicle, we decided on a petrol powered Mitsubishi Mirage that consistently gives 50 plus mpg on ulp 91, and as we regularly do round trips to Cairns and back from home, a distance total of 360 miles, the little Mitsi saves us heaps on fuel compared to our old Disco D1 that now gets to stay in the garage unless going bush, fuel/running costs are something I consider most important nowdays.
