They ARE kidding!!!
« on: July 18, 2008, 11:20:14 »
this is part of a piece ive been reading this morning
Few drivers appeared to have any idea how much fuel it took to run their car, with only 4% correctly estimating that the average car could drive 100-110 miles on £10 worth of fuel.
what a load off Bull sh*t  :evil:
we have a pug 405 diesel estate now , and even that cant get close to 100-110 miles on a tenner...aint even 2 gallons now for £10...love to know what planet these [unpleasent fellows] think theyre on

So the Average car gets 61MPG and has a 37ltr fuel tank.  :doh: What a fine example of accurate and reliable news reporting. I googled the headline and almost every News website and newspaper has run this story. Perhaps what we should be more ticked off about is the fact that they all ran the story with absolutely no regards to the truth. It says a lot about this countries Press and TV companies. As i have just pointed out in my complaint to the press association.

This story was written by Brittania breakdown services and then dished out as a press release. Perhaps a rant to their press dept is on the cards as well.

my car can do 200 miles on a fiver...

but it takes longer as the AA recovery truck isnt as fast as my car ;)

no chance a tenner will do 100-110 miles, unless its a hybrid letting the batteries do the legwork
