Is The Game Up ?

My Toyota is doing 60-70mpg on some routes now. I reckon by summer it might be 80mpg+.

 

There you go, I've put that right for you.

 

But, the above mentioned 65yr old series 2 is ULEZ exempt.

When I checked on the ULEZ checker website re. my 62 year old, V8 powered series 2 it says:
"This vehicle meets the ULEZ emissions standards
You do not need to pay a daily ULEZ charge to drive in the zone, and are helping to improve air quality across London"

I'm not quite sure how driving it in London would "improve air quality" given that 12-15mpg is about the best it'll get...

 

Get a month out of a full tank from my clubvan

 

And my day job entails dealing with utility companies wanting road space to dig holes to install and repair their networks. What I see of submissions from electric companies and their inabilities to manage these works gives me no faith whatsoever that they would ever be able to install and run a network that could guarantee dealing with the demand that these proposals will create.

 

I think the Porsche Taycan is a lovely looking car… but have you seen the depreciation curve??

 

Thanks for posting that, it's probably cost me a Paramount+ subscription...
