Re: Differing rates of fuel evaporation
Top tip - after filling your car brim full in hot weather, give it death for the first 15 minutes to make room in the tank for expansion :racing: :mrgreen: I've seen fuel bubbling out of a motorcycle's tank as the petrol warmed up after being pumped out of the underground tank.

Fuel saving tips

Re: IAM Thruxton Young Drivers Skills Day
Many of us brake with the left foot in autos. Once you're used to it you have good subtlety of control with the left foot. Probably not the first time you ever drive one :D Serious question: is it the case that pressing both pedals can cause issues in some cars? A colleague had an older Polo. Dodgy...
