Opel Astra Mileage

http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/detail/332701.html

I don't know if it's because I drive 90km/h on the highway here, that I'm doing mostly highway driving, that the car has a manual transmission, a combination of these three or something completely different, but the fact remains that I'm getting nearly as good mileage with this beast as with my 2001 Honda Civic!

I'm leaving for Oslo tomorrow, for a week-long training session on ABB Safeguard. The taxi is picking me up at 4:45am (urgh....) but I'll be seeing Oslo for 'free' which is cool! As I wrote earlier, I was going to stay the weekend in Oslo to do some real touring but I have a bike race on Saturday. They've modified the bike race route and now it has increased to 91km.

Currently listening to the American Recordings collection by Johnny Cash. I was lent this album and it has jumped to one of my favourite albums of all time. The passion in his voice in If You Could Read My Mind is incredible.

What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
