So last night I wondered about the onboard IT systems in Cummings's Land Rover Discovery Sport

This morning let's have a look at how many times Cummings would have had to put ⛽️ in it
I initially started checking details of his car, model etc. (it's a Discovery Sport second generation - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Discovery_Sport#Second_generation_(2020%E2%80%93present) ) and you can tell that from this pic https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EYzP3iDWAAAxJF-.jpg
But I live in Germany. And Germany is *the* car country, right?

It turns out that DE24 News has done the *whole lot* for us already!

Their conclusion - based on WhatCar's mpg measurements for the model he owns - is that Cummings would have needed only a bit more than half a tank of fuel to be able to do the London-Durham trip without filling up
However the chances he could manage London - Durham - Barnard Castle - Durham - London on one tank are... slim
He'd have needed the tank to be full to the rim at the start, *and* the vehicle to manage the lab test mpg, not the real life mpg.

So somewhere along his trip there was at least 1 ⛽️ stop.

Where was it? And when was it? 🤔
