2 of them are 1.7 CDTI  the Zafira is a tractor too
all 5 astras can do 70 MPH  possibly even the Zafia
all 6 spend 99% of running time in traffic jams

We don't have traffic jams in Barnsley. Hence my 96,000 mile dpf giving no problems and my 8 year old car never having anything replaced except tyres, pads, glow plugs and battery.

Nothing wrong with derv.

Nobody want a lorry, bus, tractor, canal barge or cement mixer  that runs on petrol.

My mixer has a Honda petrol engine 
though i usually use the electric motor on it as i'm very eco friendly

Around 10 days ago Brent Crude peaked at $137 a barrel, pump prices immediately shot up to ridiculously high prices. It's down to $108 today, but pump prices are still up around £1.75 a litre here.
As it's such an essential commodity, same as gas and electric, maybe a price cap would be a good idea.

Yes they jacked the prices on fuel that they already had in their tanks that was bought at the lower prices, but now the tanks are full of expensive fuel which needs to be shifted. 

So the moral of the story is that we need to drive more to burn the expensive fuel, so the suppliers can fill their forecourt tanks with cheaper fuel.
