So we finally made a road trip after 2 yrs lockdown! We left Kelowna B.C. for Comox on Vancouver Island ~ 1200 Kms round trip. With two major mountain passes over 4000 ft. The car was flawless! And even got reasonable gas mileage for over here. On the flat at a couple of clicks over the speed limit it managed 8.5 ltrs per 100 kms (33 mpg) and over the hills, 9.8 (29.5 mpg). 560 kms on 52.5 ltrs. The aircraft, if anyone cares is from one of my old squadrons, RCAF 431 and was probably terminally overstressed to be sitting on a stick. And my car is a F90 First Edition, one of 400 worldwide. I'm not sure how many went to the UK?
