Some hidden frustration there James ??? Come on............tell us all about itOriginally Posted by James C
Don't get me wrong, I'm "happy" with 19 MPG. I sold the CDTI to buy the 260, had I wanted 40+ mpg I would have kept it! I just don't like people trying to call me out on my driving style just because I can get 25+
Although on Saturday when out with a group of Fs and they all went haring down Porlock hill leaving me behind, and then one of them promptly having to stop at the bottom due to smoke coming out of his brakes did prove it's not always GO GO GO!

I really must point out, it's not you Herman I'm frustrated at, it's a previous "friend" who was always on about it, really ground my gears!Some hidden frustration there James ??? Come on............tell us all about it

I'm not offended that easy, so no worries about that....................
Just enjoy the car and drive it llike it should be driven

I don't give a t*ss about mpg as I like the car for what it is.
Just hope anyone else does..

Wasn't having a go at you James. Far from it. Like you I get miffed at people telling me how inefficient my car is. Like I don't know that. I tell them I know it's crap on economy, I bought it cos I love it and I love the noise. They still say I'm mad. I say, "now your getting it."
