Mr. Dodd from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

We should be interested to know what is your average consumption on 7-EX both for oil and petrol.

We should also like to know whether the sparking plugs need any attention, - whether the steering remains free, or whether it becomes stiff after a long run.
