Reply To: Avon ZX7 Tyres Car Tyres Cracking A few threads out there but thought I would add my comments for Avon ZX7 Tyres cracking after a couple of years. So purchased my Avon ZX7 Rear Tyres back…

Never had a EV car, tbh my view is they are ok for round town but not much good if your going on a longer drive as need to plan to re-charge it etc, not to mention the cost of them isn’t cheap.

I’m personally thinking Hybrid is the way forward.  Should be able to do commute in elec but when needing to go on longer runs, got the fuel to use.

Alternatively, I’m considering switching back to Diesel, much better fuel economy.  I read on a different forum a guy recently bought a 3litre diesel engine car, drove it home on mix of motorway/dual carriage ways (around 500 miles) and has averaged around 61mpg!  Pretty good tbh!

Since switching to a 1.0 petrol, the fuel economy isn’t that good considering, i get between 36-43mpg and that mainly city/commuting.  If i take it on a run i might get to 45 but that’s about it.  My previous 2lt engine car was returning over 50mph mostly, occasionally dropped into 40s if city riving/stuck in traffic for long time but overall, diesel still seems better.  However, mine never had the ADBlue, so not sure what if any impact that has on it.

Friend of mine has a IVECO van and its just had a issue with ADBlue, the quoted him approx. 4k to fit it once the diagnose the actual issue (at additional cost) so my mate has traded it in for another one. so doe get me a little concerned re the ADBlue stuff.
