I have AC on Auto Mode, for maybe 90% of the time. It's probably about the hottest place in the UK round here as well!
Ok my bad, didn't see the minus sign on the eastings. That puts you north of Salisbury. That's a strange format to get from a GPS device- if that's what you used. It is normally HDDD.MMM.MMM rather than HDDD.DDDDD and W degrees, not minus E degrees. I'm wondering if the Civic satnav gave you that reading.

The reason I am chatting about postition formats and GPS devices is that I'm a keen Geocacher. Google it, it's fun!

Back to OP, I must have a heavy right foot, or the extra miles your car has done has helped out. I am yet to cross the 1000 mile marker.
