It didn't help that much anyway - 36,000.

They are so effortless too on the motor way. I was following one years ago in my Senator at 'excessive speeds' Where mine was changing down a gear to keep up, his just squated down & powered away with ease.

i try not to buy from the supermarkets after the fuel snags they had last year... i have used asda as its the closestgarage to me but its the only supermarket one i will use.

At half 11 at night in Gosport/Fareham I wish I'd had a choice.   The only place that was open was Fareham near the Bird in Hand but they were lacking in fuel of all types!  :-?

104.9 Unleaded, 112.9 Diesel, 117.9 Super Diesel, these are local to me. I was talking to a HGV driver from Holland last week, he explained that the two tanks on his truck held 700 litres each ie 1400 litres, diesel in Holland is one Euro per litre - £0.75 x 1400 = £1,050 to fill up, the same in the UK £1,581 thats £531 cheaper. His boss said that if he has to buy fuel in the UK he pays the difference !
We are just mugs to stand for these high prices.

    £1600!!!!!    
And it brings a tear to my eyes when it costs me nearly £70 to fill it right up

It really is about about time we had another fuel strike. I can remember when putting £5 in my Dad's Cortina would be a nice round 4 GALLONS  ..... best part of 20 litres

sorry for being a sanctamonious ex-smoker but it's been so damn hard i wish i'd never been able to start

I, too, am an ex-smoker. But you're more than welcome to come & smoke in my house or stand next to/near me & smoke. It just doesn't bother.
You can't smoke in my car though

that's what gets me - how any government can make up rules saying smokers can't have certain ops etc but still let people start coz they need the taxes to prop up health sevice. .....

The latest Nanny State idea is for ciggies to be removed from display & sold 'under the counter' nudge nudge wink wink
