Back in the 70’s and 80’s you’d be on empty and seem to be able to drive forever.

Nowadays you blip the accelerator a millimetre and your range drops by 5 miles!

Today I left Harrogate showing a range of 360 available miles for my hybrid and I had zero electrical charge, this was all petrol range.

Journey distance was 165 miles and simple maths tells you I should’ve arrived home with 195 left in the tank, give or take.

I arrived back with 263 miles left available.

So I’d covered 165 miles and only used 97 miles of range AND I’d had the air con, sat nav and radio all in use.

Modern technology eh…….no better than my 1972 Austin Marina when it comes to the fuel readings.
First thing which springs to mind is how on earth did you need to use the sat nav to get back to Chaddesley Corbett from your nan's old house?

I know you've moved from where you lived when you were a kid but fuggin' 'ell, how many times have you been up and down from there? Wait until Al' reads this thread 😊 .
