          oh I know, I gave up a few years ago, once no4 ankle-biter was delivered by the stork, as mentioned on a previous post I now have an MPV - the sure sign of giving up

          • What are you paying for fuel over there? I pay $1.29 per liter for diesel here.

              About £1.40 for diesel... 10p or so cheaper for unleaded.

              • It would cost me $1.68 to change my $1.00 over so I would be paying over $2.00 your money for diesel. Yikes

                      6 mpg? what the hell do you drive? the NASA Space Shuttle probably averaged more than that

                        just done some maths on this and I don't think I'm far off ... all figures below are approximate but roughly right I think ...

                        Shuttle ... external tank and Shuttle (excluding boosters) contain about 650,000 US gallons of fuel ... say 550,000 UK gallons ...

                        the orbit of the Shuttle is say 4,100 miles from the centre of the Earth ... so orbiting once every 90 mins for 10 days give a distance flown of roughly 16*10*2*3*4100 ... approx 4,000,000 miles ...

                        so mpg for the Shuttle is about 4,000,000 / 550,000 = 8 mpg ...

                        so your vehicle ADR is a little bit less efficient than the Space Shuttle ... but probably more fun

                          I think he does drive the NASA Space Shuttle
                          My favourite players: Walter Lindrum (AUS), Neil Robertson (AUS), Eddie Charlton (AUS), Robby Foldvari (AUS), Vinnie Calabrese (AUS), Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry, Alex Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Dominic Dale and Barry Hawkins.
                          I dream of a 147 (but would be happy with a 100)

                              Lol, but you have forgotten that they will keep some fuel in reserve, so probably nearer 6 mpg
