At current prices it must be very close to costing £100 to fill an Omega tank from empty. Iirc its just under 134p per litre which tales it to the £100 per tank mark.
My first car cost £70 to buy - and I believe it had a full tank of petrol when I bought it. :(

Yes but that was in the days you bought your petrol in a goatskin Albs  ::) ;D ;)
Cheeky tinker. :P ;D...........petrol was around 70p per GALLON then, and the tank was approx 8 gallons. So fill up from empty and you had enough change from 6 quid to buy 20 cigs.
Those were the days my friend. :'(
My 1966 Cortina only has an 8 gallon tank. Not sure how much it would've cost to fill it back then. I remember old money but i was only 3 in 1966!!!! ;D

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
