Fuel economy

Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2008 11:56 am

I passed a comment to the wife the other day how much fuel I was using.

I filled up Monday nite £73 and only 67lts. At around £1.03 you dont get much for your money now.

When I first bought the car it only cost me £51. When will the increase stop?

I know ... you're pushing an open door here, matey!
Ron laughs at me cos I'll spend money like water on important things like handbags and shoes ( Very Happy

) and then waste a load of time driving to a garage to save a couple of pennies a litre. It's not the money so much as the fact that I feel like I'm being ripped off. I saw diesel at £1.105 the other day.... odd how the garages close to the supermarkets can manage to keep prices down isn't it? Evil or Very Mad

Grrrr..... you've really got me started now!

Buy a pratical pair of shoes and ditch the car. Look at the money you save on fuel and more for that other handbag Laughing

Us men are not all inconsiderate Laughing

Wonder how many days it would take me to walk to Birmingham for work? Or Manchester? My productivity would go down a bit unless I got one of these.....

trish, hey ron, you do realise if trish gets one of those,
you will have to spend money on back and shoulder massages, saunas, shirts, and jumpers (where the straps wear out the clothes) sun screen, water proof clothes, contact lenses, or glasses, sun glasses, work boots, insurrance, generator....... the list is never ending .... Laughing

if I were you I'd just buy a few pairs of shoes and a dozen handbags... Laughing

and keep the car !!
