I filled my car up yesterday morning (Octavia 1.6Tdi estate)
The garage, I used, is less than a mile from home
On arrival, it showed, as it normally does; '540 miles' as a range (nominal/arbitrary figures, I know)
I went off, to the 'Darrington 5Mile Road-Run' in the Panda, Joanne took the Octavia into Wakefield
As far as I know, she only went into the City-centre, dropped daughter off for a music exam, at a private School (QuEGS) then, took her to the Cathedral, to sing at a wedding.
Stayed in Wakefield, met her at the Cathedral, then drove home
This morning, I took daughter to Choir, at Cathedral, & saw the 'range' as I flicked through to check the temperature
'475 miles'
Odd, given that she'd only covered about 30 miles
However................ now here's the clever bit............... I drove her there, & back home
Both of us then collected her, drove to my parents, & returned home (a total of 25 miles, or less)
On arrival back home, the range had gone up to '550 miles'
How good is that!!!
I can drive so economically, that I seemingly put diesel back in the tank
Does anyone else have this gender divide?
