The car is probably programmed to assume that some of your miles will be driven on open roads, and the estimate is based on that.]

Sigh May 2018 12:15pm, 9 May 2018 1,630 posts	Quote Pin Sigh @lammo, just did a comparison: BBC: "Greggs shares tumbled on Wednesday after the bakery chain said that March's cold snap had hit sales. The Beast from the East forced temporary closures of several stores and added to overall weaker trading in early spring." FT: "Vodafone has struck a deal to buy Liberty Global’s cable networks in Germany and eastern Europe in a blockbuster €18.4bn takeover that is the most significant industry consolidation in the region in more than a decade."
