      A good point well made, but more saliently why would anyone chose to live there?

        Which way round the M25? What size engine is in your car? Did you fill up on the journey with a different fuel to what was already in the tank?

        But, anyway, a breakdown of your figures is as follows:
        Heading Oop North: 21.42 litres used at 6.49 litres per hour at an average speed of 54.91mph
        Returning to sanity: 21.04 litres used at 5.56 litres per hour at an average speed of 50.59mph
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
