Your fleet running reports

[Jobbo]

I’ve done about 2,500 miles since the end of March

[integrale_evo]

Zero for two weeks, 300 miles a week before / after.

[Mito Man]

Last time I filled up was the Defender a week before lockdown, still has 1/4 tank left.

[McSwede]

All I've done recently is stuff within a 10 mile radius. The M140i has been spanked at every opportunity as I've gone the long way to/from a few places. The hop up to the MiL's is great as there's a 1 Jct sprint on the A1 with nowhere for Fuzz to sit. The few times I've done it it's been empty and it's too much to resist.

Post up a vid of that high speed run you did on the autobahn - last year.

No video of where the needle stopped sadly

Maybe you could find it over the next couple of days? I can never find my old vids....

How much mileage have people been doing? Our total mileage across 3 cars in the last month is 94. 3/4 Yeti, 1/4 Megane, 0 Fabia.
That's all just 4 trips to deliver provisions to parents.
Could maybe have SORNed a couple of them but not to worry.

Me about 30 miles in the 6/7 weeks I’ve been at home. The wife similar, shopping once a week and then walking With the dog to the local Sainsbury’s for odds and ends. Also thought I could have sornd the Subaru as the wife used the combo and I used the truck until today when the power steering on the combo just broke.

So replacement steering column ordered for that and I’ll now be using the Subaru and the wife will be in the truck for a week.

Consequently, the mpg during lock down has been bloody appalling. Drinks like Oliver Reed

Had the chance to stretch its (and my) legs today as I had to go collect some stuff for a client in Leeds and drop it at Doncaster. It's really weird swing everywhere so quiet, especially driving through Leeds.

Yep, I reset my average MPG on the Volvo and its gone from 26.4 to 16.8 somehow in the last 6 weeks, half a tank in 125 miles! I thought it would have got better not worse

Still, it's been fun while the quiet roads have lasted, and the new map has definitely removed the speed limiter (if it existed, which it allegedly did at 250kph).

I reckon I can't have done more than 20mi since the middle of April, in the 330. The Superb has been nowhere since early March

[nuttinnew]

I've used the A2 once since the end of Feb.. I've just had to renew the insurance, would have preferred taking it off the road for the foreseeable but I haven't got anywhere to put it

[JonMad]

. I've just had to renew the insurance, would have preferred taking it off the road for the foreseeable

I renewed the Fabia only as it was cheaper paying a renewal fee than letting it lapse then having to pay a new business fee later on.

[dinny_g]

I only did 74 miles in April... normally at least 10 times that much.

Hate seeing the car just sitting there Idle

[GG.]

Maybe turn it off?

[integrale_evo]

Is it an rx8?

[dinny_g]

[Rich B]

Is it an rx8?

is it safe to turn it off yet???! Better leave it another few weeks to be sure...

[integrale_evo]

One of my workmates had one when they were still pretty new. He'd already had to pay out and have it recovered once after flooding it so was a little paranoid.

After moving it to swap cars around he left it to idle for a couple of minutes and got distracted.

Was quite surprised the next morning when he went out to go to work and found it still running

i had to have mine recovered when I moved it off my brothers driveway. I remember the feeling when I turned the key to stop it and realised I hadn’t done the 4K revs/etc sequence... thud.

[Sundayjumper]

I did 84 miles yesterday collecting the Lotus. There was a fair amount of traffic out there.

I won’t be so hypocritical as to suggest some of those people were making non-essential journeys...

[mik]

[mention]Rich B[/mention] I explained this rule to Mrs mik really clearly when she got hers. And stressed the importance of it. Several times.

She moved it 5m on the driveway and shut it off a few months into ownership. Funnily enough it would not start later when she needed to go out. I then discovered that I had never explained this to her. Or I had, but I certainly wasn’t clear. And anyway I was a total and utter arsehole for making her feel bad.

Took bloody ages to clear it (after flattening the battery 3x I jump started it using the scoob and the fuel-pump fuse out and back in technique.

Did she make some remark about it being bloody stupid/useless as well?
