Go on the 3.7s !!!

[Goran]

From my very limited experience of LHD so far:
I definitely prefer changing gears with the right hand, much more precise and a bit faster.
I dont like holding the steering wheel with left hand when changing gear
I dont like being far from the centre of the road.
Haven't had a problem overtaking buses, yet...
There are some advantages and some disadvantages to sitting on the left. I'll have to do a lot of European driving to justify it.

26mpg is very good for the auto, is yours lpg?

Brilliant!

Well, we agree on the origins, but the evolution the the RHS is faciniating.

Trip today combining motorway, A roads, town driving and a bit of motorway congestion. Did have my foot right down on a number of occasions as well . . . .

Can beat that no problem! Have a 2001 3.7 QS, and this is what I get on my DIS after a fillup...





Having said that, unfortunately the reality is that my calculations show I'm averaging 23.5mpg.

Nope. just folowing traffic and keeping a steady pace 35/45 mph average.

My normal mpg for long hauls with a high pace is about 22-24 with 3 people and luggage, aka the family.

But as i said, for everyday driving to and from kindergarden and work i average 15mpg...

About the same here 15-16 mpg everyday driving, 22-23 on motorway at 70-80mph and 25+ if drop speed to under 50mph

The Captain always sits on the left.
