A survey into on-the-road relationships of 1500 UK adults by Vauxhall Motors in February 2009 has revealed:
> One in five Brits admits to happily driving over 150 miles to go on a date
> 42% of single Brits admit to having been on a long-distance date
> 1 in 5 of single Brits have been on a date or had a relationship with a partner over 150 miles away – the equivalent of London to Cardiff.
> The most adventurous when seeking out love appear to be singles from the South West who are prepared to travel for a date or relationship averaging at 73 miles, followed by Londoners (67 miles). Those most content to look for love closer to home are those in the East Midlands (46 miles).
> The average distance love-seeking British singles drive each week to meet dates or a long-distance partner is 29 miles. That means singles are romantically revving up a whopping 502 million ‘love’ miles EACH WEEK* for candlelit dinners and maybe a kiss and a cuddle.
With petrol pump prices at £1 a litre and the average car getting about 30 mpg that’s about £63 million pounds worth of fuel or 1850 tanker trucks being spent every week bringing couples together for dates!
Maybe we should be calling the 3G Dating Agency a Green Tech company!!!!
