I may hijack your joke* thread.

Oh another fan of my *jokes (see above)
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit..someone should tell me that.
Seriously though.. Tracker bar? When's the last time you saw one of them?

I dont get it.

As a mechanic I can honestly tell you a mechanic ( technician now) won't be able to work out a fuel cunsumption rate on checking any vehicle in a workshop. Unless it's losing fuel through a leak the consumption is dependant on engine wear, environmental driving ( rural, urban, low gear use, acceleration, top speed etc) and the load you carry in regards to laden weight. We use fuel cards also for vehicles and they all require a signature, date and time. Surely if it's within the working hours, unless you were filling cans up, or meeting at the garage with your car it's got to be ok? Get the fucker to give you and idea of how much over he's claiming. If it's low, he's at it, if it's lots of litres then some explaination needs to be found. Good luck anyway I'm sure you work hard, most van drivers are certainly keep on the go.

If your employer is suggesting it's you and you're doing nothing wrong get him to swap vans between you and another driver. If it is a fault with the van itself this will prove it.

No more than fitting a chewy cereal bar to it as you suggested.
This is funnier than the joke thread (sorry TS :) )

I'm alluding more to the fact it seems the employer is questioning his integrity. Let another driver use his van and if the result is the same it proves it's the van and not cityboy5
