Big bollocks to get that much in them.

It's a joke. We have a bog standard 1.2 fiesta and it costs nearly £50 to fill it up everytime

I stopped at 60 quid of diesel the other day, paid, looked at the fuel gauge...a little over half full

and don't get me started on the price of a kit kat chunky...

 

[madandra]

My Mondeo took 68 litres @ £1.30 per litre = £88

Thats 30% more than in 2009.

And no fuel depot seiges anywhere.

It always amazes me that around here we seem to have just about the highest prices going but 15 miles down the road it's 3-4p a litre cheaper.
Putting nearly £50 a week in mine now - might have to put my prices up in May....

 

[goldenbare]

but nobody complains about the beer prices?
petrol £1.30 a litre.
Beer £6.00 a litre or close enough

 

[ADB]

Autogas conversion £1,000, LPG £0.70 per litre

20k miles per year, you save approx £1,300 in fuel - plus a lower road tax.

Not sure on performance, availabilty etc - but looks tempting!

 

[Imurg]

Nice idea but don't you need a big enough car to take the tank? My little C3 wouldn't have any space for my clubs...
Can't be having with that now can I?

But I can remember we had a LPG car on loan for our fleet 3 years ago and they were bragging how it was only 39p a litre. As soon as we convert in our droves the effin' government will start pumping tax onto LPG. So even in 3 years the price has gone up 80%.

Turned out to be some bloke with a torch and a load more bad news!

On the news yesterday a lorry operator was saying it costs £1,000 a week to run an artic!
When I first started driving a deisel car the cost of the fuel was approx 60% the cost of petrol, now it is around 10% more expensive!

And road tax for an artic is £1850 for 12 months yet anyone waltzing into the country for any corner doesn't pay a penny to drive here.

 

[Parmo]

Broken Britain.

Its going to get a lot worse...

 

[Andy]

My machine drinks at least 220 litres a day and that's not working it hard. Feck paying that lol.

[need_my_wedge]

I do a 120 mile round trip to the office each day. My Saab gets three round trips to the tank, so am filling up approx £60 every 3 days...... costing me close to £400 per month at the moment, just to go to work....

 

[SatchFan]

I've got a big old BMW. If I buy £50 of petrol the gauge just comes up "Damp".

 

[Lawrence22]

Cost me £93 to fill up with diesel yesterday. Diesel is 135.9 here at the moment
