Used petrol for once...
« on: 01 November 2011, 19:55:02 »
As I couldn't find gas where I was so put £20 in for the first time in 8 months!

break me it was horrifying watching the display for the cost go up so quick :o but even worse to see how the car burnt through the expensive stuff so bloody quick ;D 

I honestly could not run the beast on petrol full time and will definately look to gas again or diesel when replacement time comes.

VIVE LE GAS!! :y

Yeah, me too. Still, there's a jerry can in the shed, and I doubt I'll need to put much more in the mower until next year... ;)

Never noticed it as much on the MFL Saloon but the FL seems to "Use" what fuel it thinks it should and take a reading every 30 mins or so... Really annoying on a long journey that the light comes on, then goes off, then comes on ::)

I also run on LPG, but I use around £20 of petrol in not much more than a month. :-\

I noticed that recently too - the gauge doesn't move for 100 miles or so (if you're cruising) then suddenly 'boing' and it goes down a chunk.. for a while there I always think I'm getting amazing mpg.. ;D

You do a lot of short(er) journeys though so have the 30s or so of petrol running on every startup ;)

Mines the same..if i let it tick over till it warmed up i'm sure it'd use less petrol before switching..but i'm usually running late so don't have the option  :-[

I have used three tankfulls of unleaded in 8 days viewing cars. It would nearly have been cheaper just to have had the first one.! :'( :'(
