Can tell if something is wrong before actually knowwing. Can even see the mpg go down slightly as it gets closer to needing a service. |
I actually tried monitoring MPG very closely on both my bikes but I just don't have the mental discipline required to keep doing it every time. |
It really is just something that becomes habbit.
If not sending myself a text of litre and milage, then i'll get a receipt and write the milage at the top.
Do have a spread sheet on the ipad, where can log everything. Even the temp when filling up.
But generally work it out as:
Amount in litre ÷ gallon (4.546),
Gallon ÷ miles,
Exact mpg.
Been doing it since 2014, with every vehicle owned.
It is that exact, can see on my first 300tdi Discovery, the mpg went up by about 2, just by clicking the seat back by one.
The A3 for some reason seems to eat brake calipers, can tell the week it starts to bind, and book it in before it starts squeeking or anything.
The garage a go to loves me. Because al phone up with the problem and they can have the bits there for the day it is due. ____________________ Hello |

Really looking at the money and stuff. Can afford either, but other big decisions coming up in a few years. So rather save the money and put towards that. |
Fair enough, unless you were buying the top version (Model 3 Performance) you'd be waiting until February 2023 for the base or mid spec models.
I am getting an EV through my work as a company car, the problem is finding something available:
Mercedes EQA = 2 months wait,
Mercedes EQC = 3 - 4 months wait,
BMW i4 (standard) = 4 months wait,
BMW i4 (M version) = Q1 2023,
Tesla Model 3 = Q1 2023.
The shocking thing is all new EQA's despite being £45,000.00 cars won't even have electric seats no matter what trim level you get because of semiconductor shortages and prices. The bloke at the dealership told me specs of cars are being cut because they want to hold price points but cost increases have cut away all the profit at the manufacturer level. Could just be shite that salesmen say, but since we have seen our costs explode in our own business there's probably a lot of truth to it.
A 40ft container used to cost us £1,200 to ship from Taiwan to the UK, now if we get offered one at £16,000 we throw the money at it there and then. Shipping costs have went up easily 10x what they were pre-COVID.
Steel costs have went up for us around 40% in the last 12 months and we are looking at a similar increase in the next 12 months.
Our plastic products have exploded in cost due to the raw material cost increase and combine that with shipping increase the product is now 3x more expensive than pre-COVID and then you need to explain to people you're not taking the piss, the product was a commodity product with single digit margins to begin with that was sold on volumes. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.
