The new car eats up the miles on what seems to be almost fresh air.<\/p>\n
The reported 50mpg is, I think, being exceeded at a steady, no-nonsense, no hard-accelerating 60mph motorway cruise.<\/p>\n
The downside is that the new car is a right bugger to start from cold – this morning (yes, look, I know it was minus 6c but that’s not the point!) it really didn’t want to know.<\/p>\n
This evening – (well? It wasn’t minus 6c! OK, it was a mighty 1c, but my point here has been made!) it really didn’t want to pick itself up and come home.<\/p>\n
Once the engine’s ticking over and the car is on the motorway (dual-carriageway, whatever) it zips along very nicely with the fuel gauge not really wavering off the ‘full’ stop.<\/p>\n
Need to sort out that cold start though.<\/p>\n
