Auto gearbox - controls And Fuel
as above really, and it all depends on what sort of driving your doing witha light foot and halthy engine cruising at motorway speeds 300 miles to a tank is about right. in reality most of us get less, i get about 20 mpg as an average figure but it can be way less. the best ive ever had was just under 30 mpg. i try to get min eto have an annual health check to keep her running sweet. its cheaper in the long run.

where to focus my attention zed wise.
ive decided bearing on budjet that its best to get the car to a certain standard things that i have on my list have been dropped in favour of others. as im working on a budjet ive tried to streamline to cut costs. for example my car does not need side skirts or a spanking iced out interoir. but theres something thats a hurdle for me. the air con. ive never known weather it just needs regassing or weather its fubared or what. the project is at a fork where this is concerned. because if it dosent work because its fubar and needs x spent on it it can go. il pull it straight out save some weight and simply the engine bay. but along with this comes the thought process of do i need eletric front seats, if thers no air con why not do away with all the other "luxuary" items. cruise control blah blah blah. Part of me says if it works keep it it will add value to the car if you have to sell it, having all the toys working is good for resale. (fact) So how can i work out the air con buisness? and would ripping out all the guff and making a more focused car out of it actually detrement its value that much? its not in daily use its a cruiser and a b road toy at present that i plan to get to a point i can run it on a few track days so obvioulsy bigger brakes etc are wanted eventually. ive never wanted to be carpetless etc. a bit like the american boys do CAGE BUT CARPET. :)

one good reason why not to use your phone when driving
Even not on the phone you have no chance pulling out a junction on an a road with sum 1 doing 115mph. Both at falut but it dors have to said you often left right etc go to pull out and from nowhere some dick comes round the corner doing twice the limit and gives you the look for not being able to see round bends

Think jspecs prefer to run on the higher octane due to ever so slighty diff fuel map.
