Re: first decent trip and cruise

So had our first reasonably long drive this week in the Born, From Durham to Leeds, 200 mile round trip.
Managed to get there with 54% remaining, averaged 3.7m/kWh (I think) travelling between 62 to 68mph, so not bad. Stopped off on the way back, as the lad needed something to eat, and topped up at Gridserve at Wetherby services on the A1. Topped up from 44% to 85% and stuck the cruise on at 70mph, got back with about 35% left, so not a great difference.
Also found out how to adjust the cruise control in 1mph increments rather than using the +/- which changes in 5mph increments... the set and res buttons! Bizarre, although no doubt everyone else except me knew this.
