So last week i went from liverpool, to the trafford centre, via alfretton in derbyshire
300 miles, and it used up £40 worth of petrol
34.4 mpg apparently, is that any good?
I wasnt exactly driving slow or slowly accelerating either
1.6 corsa sport 97 btw

Yeah, not bad. Could have probably got high-30's if driven 'sensibly'.
What was the price per litre of the £40?
