Giving my car a good hammering

[TiG]

Been driving around a load over the last weekend and managed to clock up a silly number of miles.

646 miles in my Octavia on 80 Litres of fuel.

Worked out at 36.7mpg

Most of it was motorway driving at ~80mph, but some of the last section was very tight single track road. done in 2nd gear at 20mph.

Total of 11.5 Hours of driving so a pretty good speed average to go along with it.

So chuffed with my car, first real long drive its had.

The car is as comfortable as anything after 6hours in the car as it is after 30mins which is ace

Octavis vRS's are amazing cars imo, just going to be at least 6 years before i can even think of insuring one being only 19 and all.
