Nick Manning Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) This is my agenda from the 21st August to the end of the tourSo many miles according to Fuel-economy my fuel cost is going to be aproximately £170 Really could do with some people filling seats in my car for the tour.

Luke Rainbird Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Silly Scotland...I could do with one more little'un in my car - preferably with a small bike with wheels that come off easily or none at all so I can avoid using a rack!Edit; There still seem to be people with a fair few spaces in their cars - could people please post up who's car they're planning on going in so I can get an idea of how many extra/unecessary seats are available. If it works out, we may be able to eliminate the need for a driver or two and save a bit on petrol for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Need to try an save on my bike costs lol, especially having a heavy laiden fuel guzzler, i think i will be lucky to get 34 with that lead foot of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm going to have to eco-drive it on the most part. Taking over a week off work so spending £100 instead of earning £250 when I need £3300 by the end of the trip, clever move... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
