GBMINI at 7777 miles

I like interesting numbers on my speedo … so today I hit 7777:

Not very interesting really – I should have waited for 12345 I guess! Note the trip counter (distance since last fill) – I got over 380 miles on the last tank! If I had driven careful highway miles all the time (only 240 miles back from Stowe last weekend) then maybe I could have got 400 miles. Strangely, the calculated MPG was only 31 – I expected a higher figure!?
I need to drive my MCS more aggressively – people on the web complain that they only get 250 miles!
