I never thought it was possible to drive a car without eventually wearing out its clutch.

What's the secret?

I have never had the sort of income that people seem to have these days, have always had to watch every penny, so I drive steadily NOT slowly but within the speed limit trying to keep my fuel consumption down, that's why I drive a 1400 MPV not some dad truck-I see them all the time around here-the tyres must cost a ruddy fortune, I buy ONE set of tyres per year-about £225, 1 service every year +the MOT costs me about £250, I top up the fuel tank when it gets to half about 30-35 litres that's once a week now, maybe twice a week in the summer when we go further afield, I find if you keep to the speed limit, don't go haring off at 90mph like most seem to do the petrol goes further and the tyres last longer!!!

even riding a motorcycle have always kept to a cruising speed of 60-65mph with the odd dash up to 70 to warm up the tyres!
