So what have you done with your Aston today?
Discussion
Been on a course all week (not penicillin before some wag suggests it) which has required a daily commute of around 18 miles each way each day... (from my small but well appointed country pad into the city - Norwich) This typically takes around 35 minutes (each way) if I leave early to miss the worst of the rush hour (say 07:15) or 45-50 minutes if I don't leave until say 07:45.. the later journey is around 15 minutes of 70 ish dual carriageway and 30 odd minutes of stop start 1st and 2nd gear purgatory.. After 5 days of this the trip says I'm averaging 18 mpg... In the normal course of my job I don't commute (although it does happen occasionally but that's by helicopter) so I was curious to see how much petrol the old girl would use if I had a daily commute ... First time in six months of ownership I've actually pressed the trip button 
I think 18 mpg is quite good given the stop start nature of the journey

Work offshore hence the helicopter reference... And I don't have a wife...
Oh, and I shop at Waitrose
t, wiped my arse, washed my hands and now going for a cup of tea".
At dusk, unplugged the trickle charger and took Vesuvius for a well overdue 25 mile gallop, utterly fabulous.
