Martin and TD use LPG, but lose half their boot to crappy lpg tanks (well TD doesn't, coz he's got estate, and tank just lifts floor).

IFAIK, Asda have a national price for fuel, currently 84.9p. Which means all stations near Asda match it, hence why its all 84.9p around MK...

When I filled up yesterday found they had only had 7 sales all day - got home - looked in local paper a new refilling place (local Calor distributor) is doing it for 37p/l guess where I am next filling up!!!!

How can people happily pay as much as 85p/l?

The tanks for saloon take up far too boot space for my requirements - else I would have done it. Shame can't use spare wheel area, but thats life.

Also, only lpg near me is high forties per litre, and taking into account the 10% (approx guess) drop in mpg, its not quite such a good deal for me...

Well you could use the spare wheel area for a tank.....wouldnt be very big tank tho' , then what do you do with the spare wheel??

And I agree, I always think thieving b**tards when I have to use a garage charging nearly 50ppl  >:(
In that case I only put enuf in to get me to a countrywide site  ;)

Can't really do that on saloon, as it blocks access to light cluster, so can't replace blown bulbs...

Tried all grades but doesn't seem to make any difference.

Still cruises at a steady 40 - 45 mph in the middle lane of motorways......
