Having just done a 284 mile round trip from Fishguard to Llandudno in North Wales to attend the Festival of Transport in my Bentley S2 I thought I would share my experience of the Winterburn unit on fuel consumption , compared to its last trip there this improved by 8% despite towing a bigger trailer tent this time compared to a much lighter camping trailer with tent two years ago.
At the rate the old girl drinks fuel however this worked out at about an extra mile per gal and a modest saving of about £10.50 on the trip, if the car was in regular use say 10000 miles p.a. and if my maths are right this would equate to a saving of over £367 in a year.
This is a bonus as the units were not bought with that in mind.
