| 10:05.36 | bilarh | so half way only |
| 10:05.40 | bilarh | i've spent 346 quid on petrol |
| 10:06.12 | mindbendr | you must be travelling a lot |
| 10:06.22 | mindbendr | try to stay in the home for a couple of weeks :D |

| 10:09.51 | antiphase | You want some nice modern diesel that does 60+mpg |
| 10:09.53 | bilarh | hmm, maybe a 390bhp subaru isn't the best commuting choice out there |
| 10:09.57 | bilarh | yeah exactly |
| 10:10.11 | bilarh | realistically, i get about 25mpg from the subaru |
| 10:10.23 | bilarh | it's not brilliant on fuel, i'll admit that |
| 10:10.44 | antiphase | I get 20mpg from my wagon, which is why it's not for commuting |
| 10:11.17 | antiphase | That said, I once used to drive 300 miles a week in a petrol Land Rover that did 17mpg. Not my most sensible choice |
| 10:12.17 | bilarh | i've been doing this commute for roughly a year now |
| 10:12.32 | bilarh | and it's not just the petrol either |
| 10:12.38 | bilarh | now looking at 500 quid for four new tyres |

| 10:17.37 | bilarh | motorway driving, i suppose |
| 10:17.49 | cpufreak | is it really short geared or something? |
| 10:17.52 | bilarh | and also, before this year, the subaru did about 3000 miles per year |
| 10:17.57 | antiphase | I'd have thought the 4wd would much the tyres a bit as well |

| 15:18.32 | antiphase | Depends |
| 15:19.15 | antiphase | If you passed your driving test after Jan 1st 1997, you don't automagically get the B+E entitlement, so you can only tow up to 750kg |
| 15:19.27 | antiphase | iirc |
| 15:20.03 | bilarh | no it depends on the train weight |
| 15:20.14 | antiphase | You have to do some shitbag trailer test to make sure you don't drive over kerbs and pedestrians, and can reverse it |
| 15:20.15 | bilarh | you're allowed up to 3500kg total train weight |
| 15:20.40 | bilarh | 750kg is unbraked trailer |
| 15:20.41 | antiphase | The trailer weight limit for B licences is 3500kg, with a gross train weight of 8250kg |
| 15:21.03 | bilarh | thats the b+e license, right? |
| 15:21.12 | antiphase | Trailers over 750kg must be braked and not exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle it's behind, but trailers of less than 750kg can also be braked if you want |
