Stats for November. A lot of driving this month with regular trips to York from Leeds which is mixed urban, A roads and dual carriageway. Heater has been on a lot this month, I don't sit in cold cars !!!

Currently under construction at Monk Fryston, near Sherburn-in-Elmet. Ferrybridge's final coal fired power station 'C' closed in 2016 and demolition completed in 2021. SSE have plans for a hydrogen powered power station to be built in its place. They were iconic landmarks.

As far as I'm aware the PFL MG5 had no factory fit tints in the windows.

Same here, but I never used the M62 to head north on the M6 travelling from Leeds. As @Rolfe says a complete no-brainer. From Leeds to the junction of the A65/M6 there is a difference of about 38 miles more if using the M62 (64 miles v 102) and at higher speed (sometimes) so less efficient...

Heated seats and wheel will make no difference.
