Holiday driving around, with less soft pedalling, Fangs to Diamond Harbour andTaitapu, plus a three up trip over to the west coast. Strong overtaking, pushing in the bendy bits, but keeping to the 4kph tolerance on the cruise. Plus running a/c the whole time. Put in 18 litres in Greymouth to make sure we didn't run out on the way home.

Irritating finding a suitable Mobil station using their Mobil Fuel finder app. The first place on their app had closed down, the next didn't sell 95 fuel, the next was another 10km away. Will only be using Mobil if I have a fuel discount voucher, otherwise BP.
