Old Fuel

[Pete Grey]

As you say SS be aware and read the signs, go before the rabble block the roads. If you can plan to use the back road routes and avoid main roads.

If you’re late and the roads are blocked don’t even try to drive, bug in and make yourself as safe as you can, no doubt your well prepared for it. The worst case would be if you were driving when a sudden event occurred without warning.

The reason for my earlier post telling about our very bad fuel consumption on a recent M6 journey was from personal experience, the first 65 miles 3 1/2 hours, due to an accident, it took 2 hours to cover an 8 mile stretch, you could actually watch the fuel level go down.

Altogether 130 miles 5 1/2 hours half a tank of fuel. I wonder how far i would have got, even starting with a full tank, if it had been stop/start motoring all the way.
