the most expensive yet
« on: 05 June 2010, 23:14:14 »
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)  ;)  ;)

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  ;)  ;)
