My good mate Paul, who’s been a motoring journalist as long as I have, is the Samuel Pepys of our business.
He’s been writing down details in a diary of the cars he’s driven over the last 35 years including their fuel consumption. This has allowed him to establish Paul’s Law which says that all cars do 35 miles to the gallon.
Now, obviously Ferraris and Range Rover s don’t, but Paul has deduced that most family cars do. And I agree with him, especially today when diesels are going out of fashion.
