Is The Economy Just Now Falling Apart

[Declan]

Fuel is likely the biggest cost after labor.

Well I used the brim method (fill tank to brim, set trip clock to zero, drive til empty light comes on, brim again and divide amount of litres/gallons by miles driven to get exact mpg) on this Corolla I got and I've recorded 52mpg (43mpg US) from almost exclusively short trips in an urban area.

This is incredibly good. If I was mainly driving on B roads and Motorways it'd be up to 70!

The car is very good on fuel but a lot of this is down to driving economically also.

Done the same thing again and have gotten 56mpg this time. Still pretty much just urban driving.

Its just as well Dan is coining it in with those tours he does cos this would melt his brain compared to the 3mpg he gets from that Yank Tank of his

That's fucking good going Myles you are a hyper-mileing legend you must have the tyres pumped up good and hard and absolutely no brakes unless needed I hate lads braking on corners it's bullshit

 

[Declan]

It is saying my average mpg is 13.2

are you towing a trailer with a mini digger on it

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

To be fair to Dan that's 13 US which is nearly 16 in our money.

Still fairly shocking!

I'm seeing people filling new cars to the brim with green diesel.

 

[Declan]

No, the engine is a 5.3 litre and 320 hp.
You would expect 17mph but I will spend a lot of time idling as people take pictures or we discuss whatever

 

[Declan]

Not any more.

Silver taking a huge dive.

Silver taking a huge dive.

Til yesterday and today. It dropped for16 straight trading sessions.
A large part would be margin calls sent to people having been washed out with crypto losses.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Returned 62mpg on my last tank.

Dang I'm a hyper miler!

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

That's nasty. I've a few grand in the credit union and its down 13%? Bollix.

Miles per gallon over last 4 tanks.

So I'm averaging precisely 57mpg (47US).

I'll take that. Depending on what way he drives and what he's hauling around I'd say Val's Caddy gets up into the mid 40's.

I am n 13mpg. But I do a lot of city and idling as well doing a tour.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

13 US? That's 16 imperial. Auto transmission also uses more.

 

[Declan]

The problem is the weight which demands a 5.3 litre engine.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Dang dude, maybe you should lay off the pies?

 

[Declan]

How dare you.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Good weather here today Sir. Around the 25C mark (77F).
