Bigjeeze Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 Went to France on Friday - Went via the chunnel to Calais then drove down to Mont St Michel - had a look - stayed a couple of nights and drove back again. Arrived home having completed 998 miles. Averaged 42mpg - (mainly keeping to Frog speed limit of 80mph). Diesel was 1.28 per litre (Euro's) roads were quiet, clear and well signposted with lots of stopping points. This morning I drove from MSM to Calais - took around 4 hours - little traffic nice drive. Got off the train at Folkestone traffic all the way home - roads chokka. Now I know why they are such smug bastards!!! Quote
