Jeremy, I notice you have an apparent degradation too. I see more annual variation (shorter journeys than yours and probably colder here too) from low 50s now to low 60s in mid summer, but no significant change over three years - maybe a slight improvement. Odd. Or have you been driving more enthusi...

You don't have sufficiently reliable data to do any curve fitting. To get meaningful results you need to drive boringly round and round a standard level test track with near zero wind and constant ambient temperature. Under real driving conditions you would need hundreds/thousands of miles to averag...

Our journeys are mostly dog-walking and shopping - typically 5 - 12 miles each way with occasional longer trips at week ends and for holidays. Annual is just over 10000 so I suppose our profile is ...

David I've been experimenting with LED lighting for some time and am rather disappointed to date. The directionality means they are best suited to spots and I have both multi- and single-LED GU10 types in a stairway which for safety reasons is lit almost continuously.

Yes the QC2 looks good, but 50mph (perhaps only 40-45mph up a gradient) isn't quite good enough for my extra-urban driving either.
