I've used my Omega for work the last couple of days so I can make the most of my new R134a. So, the low fuel light came on this morning on the way, so i stopped off on the way home to fill up.
Today was a new record ................. [size=16]£80.01[/size] :o :o :o :o :o WTF! and Tesco's fuel has just come down in price ..... a bit!

I put 69.03 litres in, so although the light was flashing, there was still a gallon left (most of the way to work) ;) ;)

It was 115.9 p/litre at Tesco

you want to convert it to run on smelly gas, i can get 2 tanks of gas for less than that which would do me for 850 miles. Towing that plastic box would be cheaper too :y
-
I think our sainsbury's was £1.19 per litre for normal unleaded, but in Canterbury Esso it's £1.13 a litre for normal unleaded and £1.19 for Super so put in £25 worth there, shame it's so far away kind of defeats the object of going all the way there to put it in :(

Because I don't use the Omega every day I can't help but 'hammer it' when I do. A 'go-faster' Megane was trying to show how fast his car was yesterday as I got on the motorway ........ I couldn't help it! ::) ::) ::)
but I don't think it would have been a god enough excuse had I been stopped doing 3 figures plus ;) ;)
-
on the Isle of Man it was £1.27 litre :o

I'd be really ****ed if I got a flat while towing & no spare. ;) ;) ;) A can of goo won't rebuild a side wall :y

Full tank then would be. £93.00

Thought it was illegal not to carry a serviceable spare wheel in your car.

I sometimes read some of posts of a holier than thou caravan forum (I can't post anymore cos I told them what I thought of them ::)) and one forum member bought himself a 'fullsize' spare that he carried in his rear footwell because an Omega only has a 'space saver' :-? :-? :-? :-?

Not illegal to have NO spare, but if you do it has to be legal. ;)

Could you not keep the spare in the pikey wagon ?
-
63.9ppl round here currently. I hope it drops soon as petrol is dropping. ;)

I could if I was prepared to fork out to gas my car, but with the milage I do in it (5000 miles last year) I don't think it'd be worth the expence ;)

Eh!? Its full size, recall issues in people sourcing a space saver that fits Omega :-/
Carvanners eh? Silly people ;D
Must admit boot is an issue, taking cat section to be welded by the master, i thought right, i'll take this, pop the rear seat down...... ah....... bugger!
Would a spare saver fit in the front storage on Van with other spare and gas bottle ect?
-
59.9 here 65.9 Okehampton 62.9 Cornwall
or
12alot here 113.9 Cornwall

It's just not the same size as those fitted to the car.
Not all caravaners are 'silly' i do have a little modicum od CDF (ex matelots will understand ;))

You've not seen waht we keep in the 'van ;) and as said, I don't do the milage to warrent the outlay of gas conversion :y

I have failed to fill the tank at Asda in the past due to a (then) £85 limit (its a purely pay-at-pump station at MK). Price has eased now, and is 113,9p, though the pay-at-pump limit has been raised to £99
Fart gas is working well for me - yes I do miss the boot, but in fairness only really needed it 2 or 3 times a year. I bought a gay roofbox for these occassions.
