I'm trying not to think about poor MPG; just like old age, the alternative could be a lot worse

Yep been there done that, didnt like it.
I was thinking of leaving the fold but after using the Disco for my daily trip to Leeds Ive decided against it. It was much more fun than my van and I get 33.3mpg (allegedly) so I cant let it go

23.4mpg average over 12,000 miles, with a best of 27.2.
I try not to think of the 50+ I was used to before making the switch to my Discovery Andy

Yaxman has an V8 on LPG, so although he gets a lower mpg than I do, its still on a par cost wise with a diesel.==================================
