Please don't jinx yourself 
probably have now  although i only sit at 25-30mph on the run to/from work as i really can't be bothered to go faster just stick it in 6th at 30 and be done with it 
That's why you get so little mpg, 4th or even third would be much better.

no, i get so little mpg because i boot it everywhere when it's dry
it's easier to put it in 6th as it won't come on boost if i even touch the throttle, whereas in 3rd or 4th it will.

I always curse it when they grit the roads but realise at the same time if they didn't I'd probably crash my car. So as much as it fucks me off having my car totally shit up its better than having a crashed one I guess

Pissed, my car was looking fresh before I left for work, 70 miles later and it's worse than before I washed it
