As this subject seems to be a perennial favourite on all those OTHER sites - you know the ones I mean - I thought I'd raise the same boring question here.
I get 53.5mpg driving a 7.5 tonne, 5.6 litre V6 petrol engined A class at a steady 75mph. What's more I drive from Calais to Alicante using non-toll roads in only 4 hours without ever exceeding 1500rpm, and that's including my hour-and-a-half lunch break.
So, which one of you dorks is going to call me a liar?

My RPG gets up to about 800 feet per second and is accurate up to 400 yards.
Hope that helps.

You're a very bad man, Abdul. I know because I've read about the things you get up to on other websites. Shame on you. I've a good mind to send my mate Tuggles round to sort you out.

22.5 mpg Mainly due to very short journeys and inactivity cos of my diseased body. However, I am selling this car, buyer arrives Wednesday when I hope he will be smitten by my silk tongue. I have already bought it's replacement. An old one which should manage the annual pilgrimage to France and a couple of jaunts to the Corny \ South Hams and local Tescos.
If I get better I will reconsider but although I am on a roll now, (hence loads of crap posted) the pattern is I will be back to zilch at some point and hopefully not the all the first week of last years holiday in France which I spent looking at the ceiling of the mobile home through half closed eyes.
I don't want pity. All I want is understanding, empathy, a shoulder to cry on, the Samaritans phone number, gifts, money and diazipan and a razor blade to cut my wrists if I get pissed off. (Can't find a violin smiley. What a website)

@ Seannachie. Thanks for that but I couldn't understand how to use them so I resorted to Firefox addon. I have put the smileys in place but I must have stuck them on the wrong post.

Pusser my boy, are you telling us that you aren't well? Hearing that would bother me, even though we have never met, as far as we know.
It's quite possible that we met in The Royal Oak, The Ship, or the Black Swan or indeed any number of other pubs with generic names. This would have to have been before you were called Pusser to explain why I didn't recognise your name this time around.
Assuming we have met.
If not I look forward to meeting you. Probably, almost certainly.
Whose round is it? Alan.

Dark and warm is my kind of beer.
Just had a bbq with Germans who insisted that I put my beer in the fucking freezer till the bottles were on the point of fracturing.
That's a mystery to me. Cold beer makes me sick.
Here is how it happened. We asked them to dinner. He asked if we had cold beer. I, assuming that they would bring their own answered that cold beer made me sick. He told me that I wouldn't mind if they drank some of my beer when it was cold. It struck me then that we were supplying the dinner and the beer. I didn't have all that much beer and now I had to ruin it by cooling it to the point where i would find it poisonous.
I can see that under normal circumstances if you invite people to dinner you provide the drink too but for fucks sake they either bring the drink they prefer or they drink what the host offers?

Tell local police to practice Stinger deployment.

one of the reasons I drink dark warm beer is because not many other people like it and I dont have to share ( does that make me a bad person ) and as for your mates , I'd have told them to bring their own food as well , preferably ready cooked to save on gas . your just too nice Alan

In my defence I can say it wasn't my idea.
There was a girlish woman there with a guitar, but she wanted to sing Cum By Ya or whatever the fuck it's called if I would strum, so I told her I couldn't do C, F, G any more.
Probably you would need vice grips to hold a chord on it any way, better not to try when pissed I thought.
