3 months ago it was normal to fork out £80 to fill your tank. £60 is still too much imo...........in the old days it was 50p a gallon and my moped did over 100mpg ::) ;)

Here's a neat trick. Read in the manual how much your fuel tank holds, then look at the petrol pump to see how much fuel costs and, hey presto, you can work out how much it will cost to fill your fuel tank with fuel. :y

No need to thank me.
