    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    And there was me thinking that businesses sold stock on a mark up basis to cover their costs and make a profit. I didn't realise they used crystal balls to predict future re-stocking costs to form the basis for their mark up on current stock. :unsure:

    Do not trust SOH. Interesting point. Kia discussion not MG.

    There appears to be different ways of calculating/reporting this degradation. Hyundai/Kia seem to be alone in their method whatever it is. How many MGs are reporting 100% SOH at e.g. 4 years old and 40,000 miles?

    Now for something completely different…

    Indeed, but most of us non-MGers did start out with one, we just hung around 'cos we like the good folks on here. Nothing wrong with a luxury sub-brand, I once really desired a Toyota Lexus 400. :D

    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    See post #12 in this thread on Thursday 5th where there was a quote for next day and other days delivery with next day most expensive and cheaper as the date goes out. So there is the proof that they had the stock and could price it (expensively) for the forseeable. You seem to know the trade...

    Fairly well known that Kia and Hyundai EVs, mine included, show 100% SOH for ages. It has always been taken that any degradation was calculated from within the buffer, so until that disappears it always shows 100%. So it still has max range/reported SOH, until the usable portion of the battery...

    Just to clarify you are switching from the G80 electrified to the GV60 ?

    You have explained the system well, however there appears to be clear profiteering/gouging going on and not just an element of. If as shown above they were able to deliver 'tomorrow' that is not from fuel stuck the other side of the gulf, nor is it from anything that wasn't already in the UK or...

    It's literally the way you write it.

    It was around 1979/1980 when it broke the £1/gallon, I remember it as I naively thought I would never see it go that high. Have a look at the table attached below showing price per gallon for every year since 1896 and see if it matches your memory.

    What makes you feel old?

    Ah those were the days. Writing programs on coding sheets, sending them to data prep to punch the cards and checking them when they came back hoping you (and they) had coded/punched it right first time. Coded in Cobol, RPG2 and Assembler then. Thankfully that all ended very soon after I started.

    Use the most efficient for the week's daily commute of 250 miles, the best with the cold starts out and the traffic on the way home.

    Would you expect rear lights on with Daylight Running Lights (DRL)?

    See @Fluffykins post just above #72

    What makes you feel old?

    EP, Extended Play. I have some upstairs from the 60s, 7 inch, same size as a single and still played at 45rpm, the grooves are much tighter. Mine have just 2 tracks per side. I think the more 'modern' ones might have more tracks and and maybe play at 33rpm, but I don't have any of them.
