My mpg is okay with gigantic tyres. ‘Enry Lar gets about 12mpg on petrol so he won’t notice anything.

Do you have a trip computer fitted?

No or no cruise control.

There is a number on the fuel pump though

Mine did on the road 18mpg around town,

And 22mpg on the M'way..

The best MPG i found was when she was at peak torque which was 2500rpm which is IIRC 73mph..

My trip was accurate to a few tenths on mine, which was surprising..

I went for Federal Couragia. They were a bit noisy but later I had another set of wheels with General AT2.
I was chuffed to see the Federals across the border in Panamá on Sunday. When we will take the L322, that we picked up back to the owner, I might just be able to get a set for my Disco

In the Charente just on the border of the Charente Maritime. A village called chantillac just off the N10.

Same here. Had a lot of rain recently. Something about the design of the P38 throws water and mud over the top rather than out to the sides.
