Still 151.9 for the black stuff here in Brakkers.  We're a bit behind the times, you see.

I paid £1.40(ish) for a litre of diesel at Costco Avonmouth in the week.

Brent Crude was down to about $75 as well this week.

89.9p in My nearest Morrisons at the moment, when they can actually be bothered to stock the stuff, taking the piss if I'm honest considering it was only 37.9p this time last year at the local Sainsbury's before they decided "were not playing that game anymore, so bugger off".

Obviously I'm referring to LPG, which is now like Liquid Gold unless you live in Brum or Manchester.  >:(

Best I can get on the UL Jungle Juice at the moment is 137.9 or 145.9 for the pure Crude in East London.  :y

I put E5 in the Omega ,seems to get slightly better MPG  :-\ or maybe i'm kidding myself   ;D
I also pit E5 in the 2002 astra G 1.4 as it's rarely used.

about £1.63 per L

I put e5 in most of the time, but when it got within site of two quid a litre a while back I refused on principle to pay that much for petrol.  A few tanks of e10 isnt going to do any harm.

As the Omega has knock sensors, you should be able to get better MPG off it, *IF* you don't make use of the extra power you can also achieve.

Ex-Bro had a 4.8l X5, and said it was cheaper to use the high octane stuff, as the extra MPG easily outweighed the extra cost....    ....unless I was driving ;D

My MPG is over 24 right now
"not trying" I hear you say  ;D
truth is ,there's so many diversions to avoid floods/roadworks, the A38 at Lichfield HS2 delays etc etc ,I can't get my speed up and press on  :-X
my MPM (minutes per mile) has gone to sh!t  :(
