Using your figures Cotty, I get an annual petrol expense, given a 25.5 combined mpg rating for your LR Defender, of $6638.82. You can do the conversions to liters and £ and see if that is correct. And THAT, is why I only calculate my milage every fill up, just to see how bad it is. My newer Dodge? Short trip rides I take every day are 3.6 miles out. 3.6 miles back, twice a day = 7.2 miles per day. For this I get 12.5 mpg. At today's $3.90 per gallon. If I drove down to Seattle for my morning Latte, a 76 mile round trip, twice a day, I would average around 29 mpg. Now to figure out if it would be worth my time and wear and tear on the car to do so. Joseph McAllister pentax...@mac.com There is no off position to the genius switch.
