Its £1.10 a litre around here :'(

Bloody Hell!!!!

What is it with fuel prices - every two days or so, another penny goes on.  It is 93.9 round my way (standard 95 RON).  I think that the price of fuel because of Mr Brown is disgraceful.

It was said that we would all end up paying for the f*ck up with the wrong additives. WE are paying for the new O2 sensors that were knackered >:(

Although I love the V6... if fuel prices continue this way.. i WILL Get a diesel engine, that I can convert to run on pig sh!t...

You know the answer James. You could use that tank but you need a front end
Why have a large exec, then lose half the boot? May as well get something smaller.

Name a smaller RWD car with similar interior room and performance, and handling which does twice the economy?

Also 1/4 of boot

I didn't buy the MV6 for economy. Hence why I haven't given up the boot and fitted a bloomin great tank in the back.

FWD is horrible and sub 40l Diesels are boring.

I don't like torque steer, pulling steering, wheel spinning when pulling out of side roads.

Don't like the sound car Diesels make - they usually sound horrible. Best sounding is the V16 charge cooled EE lump.

I got vpower for 98.9p last week.
I did see on the local news about a month ago about a garage in Stirling. You pay £100 a year to become a member and then you get your fuel tax free, around 35p/litre. The garage owner drives his own tanker to the refinery pays the bulk price and the duty and does not pass this cost on to the members. I think the membership fee covers his costs adequately. He has an invoice for the fuel stating that the duty has been paid, so what he does with it is up to him.

Stirling is 55 miles from me so would I gain??

110 mile round trip, think you would need to fill a few jerry cans each time to make it worthwhile.
