searching the forum for vital information, after a gentle lunch, came upon Bill Sheeran's road test info. The Seven, being older and weighing so little, was expected to give 45-50 mpg. Having topped up my Ruby this morning and calculated consumption to Shelsley and back on Sunday, I found that it gave 37 mpg. Some of this was due to a slightly binding rear brake on the way out, put right under the car in the car park. some of this was my less than slim passenger, certainly there are a number of banks requiring second gear. Do all the other Rubies spin along on just a breath of petrol?
