it's the same for most of us tbh

at 20mpg (we wish!!) it would cost us £623 in fuel to get to the races. Considering we live just 2 miles from one of the tracks it's still pretty good going!

local.... ?
Well, mallory, snetterton, donington, are not too far, cadwell park is quite a long way, castle combe is a not that far really. oulton park, pembrey, anglesey are too far to come home, but I do like my own bed. and err, cant think of any other reasons really, but thats the plan at the moment. I'm not really complaining, obviously I have but I was looking forward to Brands.

42mpg with a trailer on my 406 and room to sleep in it too.

If I left the beer and bike at home I reckon I'd save more money too
