v Birmingham City (a) - 1/4/23

[Ossydave]

What do you drive Chaddy? Appreciate this topic has gone wildly off on a tangent but I see no issues.

Sponsors should appreciate this debate.

[BRFC4EVA]

Very enjoyable reading as per usual. We have such a fascinating range of posters! 

Tickets on general sale now, with reasonable prices and the week still to I think we'll sell pretty much all of them. Start of a make or break month. Considering the other fixtures, a win on sat and we've one foot in the playoffs 

[Upside Down]

Chaddy, you know you'll save even more money if you walk or ride a pushbike to the Birmingham game. 

Save the £25 and get yourself a pie.

Peugeot 308 diesel. Does around 75 mpg. More if a long motorway journey. 

I deffo won't be getting Hyundai i10 if you need to fill up every week after 200 miles journey

Tbf, your car has 50-odd litres of fuel, whereas the hyundai only has about 35L, so ofc it needs filling up more.

Getting 70+ MPG is great going btw.

75 MPG?! Christ almighty, i'd be lucky to get around 40 in my Qashqai ☹️

Ignoring fuel economics, I'll be getting a train. Don't drive and wouldn't choose to drive anyway, as part of the away day appeal to me is finding a new pub and making a day of it. Plus, living in Cardiff I wouldn't have the luxury of lift sharing.

I can't wait for this one. It's one we really need to be winning - I'd love a win to banish just a few of the demons from Bramall Lane.

I'll be getting my ticket tomorrow on payday - others might be the same.

He'd need one after that!

One of the more weirder tangents taken 

75mpg is mythical levels of economy - must be touching 55mph all journey; no radio, lights, air con and everybody must lean forward

Mike it does cost £25 a week. If it costing you 50 pounds to travel to Preston in that car I suggested getting something more better fuel economy better. 

I am happy to DM my car report which will show you that I am spending 25 pounds a week on Diesel 

Chaddy are you actually driving to Brum on Saturday ?

The Flintstone, don’t use any petrol and if you go by horse, a few carrots and a bit of hay sorts it.

Tank is 50 litres. 

It's great for fuel economy and very low maintenance in 8 years now. No major work needed on it in that time

I hope you have enjoyable day and Rovers win. 

I accepted and understand that some people want to drink and enjoy their local pubs or restaurants.

Has this turned into the HonestJohn website ?

My motor is a 1.6 diesel SUV and easily does 45 mpg around town and 60/70 mpg on the motorway without a lead foot.

You can shove your electric scalextric cars where the sun doesn't shine !

Totally agree with the last bit. Not a fan of Electric cars cos in most housing areas there is no space for charging points. Its struggled to get Parked outside your own house at the best of time.

Around 60 mph when I driving to work. Motorway clear. Barely any traffic. 

75 mpg isn't a myth actually.https://www.whatcar.com/peugeot/308/hatchback/used-review/n850/ownership-costs 

some podcast/Spotify from my phone. Can't stand most radio channels now. Far too much nonsense talk and far too many adverts for.

These international breaks have a lot to answer for!

[Mattyblue]

And we’ll be back to *four* of them next season too. 😫

[SBlue]

I'll be getting the train and having a day on the ale.

Hoping to achieve 1.5pts per gallon.

On tonights show, we will be seeing if a 9 year old Peugot 308 2L diesel can out perform a New Hyuandia i10 on the road to Birmingham. On the greatest car show...in the WOOOORLD!!!!!!

James May will be doing something that makes him appear boring 

The little one will be injuring himself doing something Stupid.

Then the three of us willl be racially abusing some minority and then saying "it was just a joke"

What you and him get up to in your spare time is your business, this is a car MPG message board if you wouldn't mind keeping it on topic.
