Just been given an idea by motormouth. Why don't we have an economy run?

The rules are simple:

1. Meet at a fuel station and fill up the cars

2. Follow a predefined route

3. Meet at another fuel station and refill.

Nice gentle drive in the country and no-one has any particular advantage be they in a oil burner or a proper car as the winner is the person with the best increase over the Government combined figure for their car

Any takers?

Good idea Jon..

Maybe we could get sponsorship from RedBull to keep the participants awake

It would make a change from flying around at 1000mph all the time though...

Are mobiles phones permitted?

I have a cunning plan...

Shame. He/She will no doubt be back. I mean, you always come back. But then you're like a part of the furniture. It wouldn't be the same without you.

That's what they used to say about commodes, and they were frequently full of...

You get the idea

'Lo "Peter" :wave:

Feck off Monkey Spanker

yep sound good to me what about a sponser for the prize?

I love you too sweety! :grouphug: :hug: :Handshake

I think its a cracking idea. Done some in the past and it's not as easy as it seems. If the route is more than 50-75 miles it is so hard to do, you just lose patience and nail it then think "Oh bolleaux, I shouldn't have done that"

Oh and the grief you get from other road users :(

I got annoyed with wifey a few months ago - we went on a wee outing on a Saturday afternoon and I set off with my usual joie de vivre, which provoked some comments about the lateral G forces involved etc. etc. (you get the picture).

So, somewhat irked myself, I drove the rest of the way to our destination (including some 20 miles of the M4) at a steady 50 mph. I arrived with the average mpg reading 50.1, which immediately dropped when I had to slow for the gate, park, etc ....

I would imagine even that could be improved upon :p

Could even drag along the barge......cue Edvard Grieg.:mischievo :moon:

Oh is Peer Gynt about trolls - never knew that. Now I see ....

average mpg reading 50.1,

:ices_rofl :uglyhamme

is that ALL!?

As much as I like to compete in this, I'm affraid that even if I try to hit 30mpg I still miserably fail... but if taking part is the object and not the winning (can you see how I'm weaseling myself into that underdogs position? ) then count me in

Oh, and in a few months we'll do whoever can burn the most amount of fuel in the least amount of miles

Oh is Peer Gynt about trolls - never knew that. Now I see ....

Come on Nick...keep up.:yeahdude:

That was on proper fuel, not the stuff lorries drink :jab:

Come on Nick...keep up.:yeahdude:

Guess it's one of those things you either know, or you don't :|
