As the title says,  Maggie has to go.  Mick is doing 60+ miles a day (£50+ a week, thats without the fun/days out)
and we have come to a decision that the fuel bill is a bit much.
So thought i'd come and ask you guys how much its worth.

Just diggin out paperwork, as has a poo loads of reciepts/history.

My beast will be back with me soon :)

Possibly not a lot I'm afraid :( - cheap to buy, but obviously not so good come selling time.

Remind us of the details...

what is its age, spec millage?

Whist Omega's are not the most economical cars around... they are far from the worst.

To really reduce your fuel bill you will need to look to a very small car and diesel!  :'(

£50 per week - I used to be around that but no longer.

Your car is a prime candidate for LPG and half the fuel bills.

I spend about £20 on gas a week. And about £4 on petrol in the cold weather as it takes a little longer to switch over.

Tina, this one seems to have gone off at a tangent. Again.

Probably best to start another, with details of his Omega... :y
