I travel 100 km each way to work on the world's busiest motorway. Now look that up!
For three months I went west London {Heathrow Airport} to Southampton each working day, 75 miles each way by A303, M4, M25 then M3...did 18,000 miles in one year. We have done 41,000 miles in our Swindon-built Honda Civic since 2 January 2003 but that does 38 mpg. Now we have a KIA Picanto that we bought for daughter to learn to drive in...10.500 miles since 2 March 2005 at 48 mpg! Thta;s the car we use now! However we did 15,000 in a 2003 Honda Jazz in a year and that did 55 mpg...petrol stations were infrequent visitors with that car! Used to do Southampton-Swansea and back 350 miles. 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours there and then back.

I ams sure that the M25 London orbiatl MUST be the busiest in the world..now it's 5 lanes both sides in places! At times it's a car park.
