Probably sounds like a basic concept to most but it has taken me a while to learn that 4th and 5th gear are only really needed for rash overtaking on the motorway....

Just done a journey from Paris and the low light came on just entering Norwich..8 litres left on fuelling......so a 380 mile journey is easy.........better than my prevous 1.6 auto 2001 Civic........same tank size !
