Well I'll kick it off, January 2020 has been the first ever month since I started driving that I haven't bought a single drop of petrol/diesel. Haven't spent a single penny on electricity for the car either.

So parked up and the milometer had ticked round to this little random set of numbers.
nf own work 31/01/2020
nf own work 31/01/2020
So the number for the picture is 31679

Taking off last months end milage of 30511 we get

1,168 for January 2020 if my mental arithmetic is right. :-D

Its a piece of cake thread....entries invited....

Excellent work there......haven't found anything satisfying for my end of month milometer of 31679 yet, and I may have to settle for Micks RV bog with the hand sprayer!

That does it James.....do you fancy joining the party with your own mileometer reading on January 31st 2020?

I have done a bit of research and am midly satisfied with this......had I driven one extra mile there would have been no need for the extra creativity :-D

The van has a milometer reading of 129099, which isn't bad for forty months of driving (or thereabouts). I have not checked that of the car.
