Too much fun
« on: 29 September 2015, 18:33:17 »
Clearly I've been having too much fun, as the car ran out of gas on the way to work. 15 gallons in under 200 miles. Opps.


Obviously, the problem now is I've gotta drive on petrol, as no rather filling station around these parts want to sell anything other than crap coffee and microwave pies >:(.  The useless mongrels at Shell in MK near The Bowl haven't had LPG for 2 or 3 months now.  oppswits, all of them.

I'd be grateful for any LPG. Even the local BP, but they decided they wanted to be an M&S food store instead.

Its not hard. A fuel station sells fuel (shock, horror), a coffee shop sells coffee, and Tesco sells milk. Simples.

I use Tesco Ultimatum, no idea about this new fangled LPG stuff. To be honest I think the LPG pipes spoil the aesthetics of the engine bay  :D

Nope, none.  :D

I suspect the running of a 2.5 V6 at 21.7mpg may have something to do with that...  ;)

Which bit :P

To be fair, I normally get 300 or thereabouts from a tank, but it just seemed a bit much for one trip to work ::)
