Lol so your cars got more mpg with age or you have become more of a granny with age. 8-)

Still epic stats though. Pretty much bang on what you would expect a daily driven prelude to make all day long.

Some awesome stats there.
Just goes to show the Prelude isnt as bad in economy as people think and perfectly usable as a daily :)

Now what would be interesting is to see if there is a significant difference in mpg vs cost. Do you have stats per fill up i.e. price per L and mpg?

That's because us Southerners pillage the north for everything :twisted:

But speaking of fuel prices, I was sorting out a load of servicing receipts for my cars today;

Now you're talking :twisted: And that's for proper petrol!
