Prior to getting my Meega, I had (no guffaws please) a Citroen Xsara 1.9 turbo diesel estate - sh*t car but reliable and good fuel economy of approx. 45mpg.

Since I got the Omega which only averages 25-26mpg, the price of bloody fuel hasn't stopped going up, and I read in today's paper that fuel prices are set to reach a new high due to the bloody idiots in the Middle East that never stop knocking two tons of sh*t out of each other

However, I found a website called petrolprices.com. Enter your post code and it will tell you where the cheapest fuel can be found in your area....how cool's that 8-) I admit that there's usually only a few pence per litre difference, but every penny counts as far as I'm concerned!

Could be useful. I found that sometimes the brand of fuel can make quite a difference to economy.  I can get 20 to 30 miles more to a tank from one brand of fuel to another, which can negate the small saving per litre!

Presume you have all registered on www.pipelinecard.org when it ever kicks off could be a nice little saving.
Just discovered shell still do 'points' although doesnt seem advertised, local garage should have a leaflet.

I know none of these mean much, but every little helps
(which reminds me tesco's doing 5p off a litre again with your shopping)

Markie you part timer!!

I fill up twice a week!!!!!  

And if I drive to Nottingham I fill up twice in five hours!!

And on a recent trip from Buckinghamshire I used a full tank of fuel in three hours tearing up the M1/M6!!!

My wallet hurts!!!

Tescos only let me have £60 a time at Pay@pump. Asda are worse at £55

43.9 at last fill up

.....is that pence per litre (in which case I'd like to know the location of your garage ) or mpg?

[Salty]
