my dads 53reg 1.3 colection ka is gutless and feels like some one has shoved a banana up the exhaust

when i borrowed it to do a 175 mile round trip to fetch my gearbox i was having trouble keeping up with traffic at 70mph on the motorway with a slight hill and knocking it down to 4th did nothing!

i left with a full tank and used the minimal amount of throttle to keep up with traffic and it was duel carige way/motorway for most of the trip and when i got back it took £35 to fill it up again

i bunged the stats in to a mpg calculator and got this:

Fuel Cost 114p a litre
Total spend: £35
Distance 175 miles
