Very Good. Had mine in the 70s mpg and range in the 700 miles plus. Car loves being held to 50 mph in the traffic controls and using coasting down hills helps the figures. Must admit usually happy to settle for 60 mpg and cruising a bit higher ie in the 60s and taking some A roads where 50-55 mph is the norm. Mines DSG so coasts down hills automatically in DSG. Also picking the occasional and slip streaming of transit van or the like. Only the 16 inch 205 tyres set iin the mid 30s PSI rather than the mpg damaging 17s or 18 inch wheels. Well done, who needs diesels with all their pollution baggage with mpg like this.

Minimum Front tyre pressure to be 27 PSI, 1.9 Kilopascals (?) ie high https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.pirelli-confirm-tyre-pressure-changes-and-strategy-expectations-for-second.26VNLwhtlBTTUFyPHoVh5n.html "Pirelli boss Mario Isola has confirmed that tyre pressures will be changed for this weekend's 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, also being held at Silverstone. On Tuesday Pirelli revealed the results of their investigation into the tyre failures on Sunday, explaining that an unusually long final stint and the "biggest forces ever seen on tyres" were to blame for the series of deflations in the last few laps. There was concern that the planned move to an allocation of softer compound tyres might have to be re-thought in light of the failures on Sunday, but Pirelli said the change would go ahead - though they would be changing the minimum tyre pressures. "We are going up by 2psi front and 1psi rear," Isola confirmed. As a result, teams will be running 27 psi for the front tyres and 22 psi for the rears, and with the softer compounds in play, Isola said he is expecting the teams to have to run a two-stop strategy."

Surprised Mercedes did not points and fines as well as the parts were Mercedes parts last year unless they are saying that Racing point just spied the spec of the parts. Ferrari and Mercedes clearly going beyond the rules to win at all costs like the burning the oil as fuel which happened. So Racing point can carry on with the existing Brake Ducts. RP considering an appeal, see what happens.

1kwh taking a car 10 km is very efficient for current tech and weight etc. Zoe will do 300 miles ie 500 km if one hypermiles. Sounds like a great slow race if one had 10 hours to spare. Could be down to the driver carefully playing with the controls.

Just that the Zoe seems slightly more efficient in energy burn giving it about 20 miles or 10% or so range. Battery tech similar as far as I can see. I like the bigger boot and if the ride is more forgiving then that is good too. Just want the good scrappage deals to add to the government subsidy. Think I can get about £7k off https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/new/201911074127685?sort=price-asc&model=ZOE&postcode=wr40lx&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&advertising-location=at_cars&price-from=500&make=RENAULT&radius=1500&aggregatedTrim=R135&page=1 https://ev-database.uk/compare/electric-vehicle-longest-range#sort:path~type~order=.erange_real~number~desc|price-checkbox-dropdown:pathGroup=.price_filter10-20~.price_filter20-30|range-slider-range:prev~next=0~600|range-slider-bijtelling:prev~next=0~600|range-slider-acceleration:prev~next=2~23|range-slider-fastcharge:prev~next=0~1000|range-slider-lease:prev~next=150~2500|range-slider-topspeed:prev~next=60~260|paging:currentPage=0|paging:number=9

Autoexpress verdict....................................... Vauxhall Corsa-e vs Renault Zoe Vauxhall breaks new ground with the electric Corsa-e supermini, but is it good enough to beat the Renault Zoe? https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/electric-cars/352881/vauxhall-corsa-e-vs-renault-zoe Verdict First place: Renault Zoe 37 It's bigger battery means more range, and while the Zoe is slightly slower, there’s more than enough go. It lacks the Corsa’s greater charging capability, but 50kW compatibility is still good. The Renault packs more practicality and tech, lower running costs (although not by much), greater quality and more space at a similar price, so the Zoe proves yet again why it’s our favourite compact EV. Second place: Vauxhall Corsa-e 37 The Corsa-e is a solid all-electric debut from Vauxhall. Its range is respectable, it has excellent charging capability, and it’s quick and agile, but it’s not as comfortable as the Zoe and nor is the tech as advanced. It’s slightly less efficient yet will still be incredibly affordable to run, but the Vauxhall’s lack of quality and practicality does stand out when compared to the Zoe.

Well done WSB rides and teams. Lapping within 2 seconds per lap of motogp on these tuned stock based bikes. Pangali V4 very quick but so many different makes within tenths in a lap.

Been using Tyreleader for years and just buying two 205/55-16s, v rated Avon ZV7s for less than £42 each awesome. Finally bought an electronic tyre gauge from Amazon. Less than £6, very pleased. So many garages trying to RIP off customers that still have 3mm on their tyres.I usually change at 2 to 2.5 mm.Anywhere better to buy than this ? I get ETB to fit and the usually charge a tenner per tyre. Might be good to Buy before BREXIT as car tyres are imported and are likely to more expensive post BREXIT.

Eco. The roads I mainly drive mean I seem to get another 20 to 25 miles in Eco per tank. But I will use the gear lever to put in to sport a few dozen times he joining motorways ,A roads or roundabouts. Generally shows around 56 mpg. Not bad for a car that can also do sub 8 second 0 to 62.

Pleased for the Hulk as I always felt he represented us taller chaps at 1.84m, 78 kgs, in a field of many little people. Whilst there is a driver/seat minimum weight of 80 kgs so things are better it has been on on-going issue means really good drivers did not get a ride. I recall G Berger got sidelined due to this size.

I noticed the brochure quoted 50 litres for the tank size on the 2 wheel drive Octys and 55 litres on the 4X4s, one of my bug bears with the Makr 3 Octy over the Mk 2 Octy which has 55 litre tanks and the Superbs which had proper 60 litre plus tanks ?

Maybe the Petronas way of doing things, works in F1 so why not motogp.

Very promising young rider. Riding a cross plane Yam myself I want Yamaha to win this year and they have the best chance in years but Jerez is a handling track rather than power so the tracks coming up with be better for the more powerful V engines rather than the inline 4 cylinder bikes.
