Fuel Prices.........


Recommended Posts

 

 

Diesel was still cheaper when I first bought my own van 20 years ago, but it soon went up!

Diesel €1.08 in my local...................which is nice ;-)

That's not priced in proper money, though, is it ?

Ok.....a couple of weeks ago it cost me about £20 to drive from brussels to North Essex, is that proper enough? :-)

That's better! But what was the total including ferry fare ?

Gary you should know its all official biz even got to go to Andre Rieu concert on sunday on the way home nearly ran over a couple immigrants but the buggers were a bit quick on there toes

You know perfectly well that I was the owner of a Kia Soul (wretched machine !) I brought the subject up purely as I was surprised in the fall of diesel prices.........but since you mention it.......

Mine is my bank manager & accountant, as well as my engagements secretary - (ie she has all the money and tells me what she thinks I should be doing !)

My mrs still thinks you can fill the tank for £20 and get a pack of fags with the change.

Your missus puts fuel in the car? What an angel lol

Mine thinks that when the red light comes on its time for me to take it for a service????????

Just got her a new one with a computer thingy that tells you average mpg, range etc but she says she can't see it without her specs on ffs

 

Cheers, D.

I've got a bit obsessive about average mpg lately - the old Kia only managed 32-35 mpg (told you it was a wretched machine !), but the new one is averaging 55-60 ! Going up the motorway to Nottingham later, so should do even better than that.Wish I'd got it years ago. (Did I mention its a Skoda Yeti 2.0 L diesel 4WD ? I did ! Sorry, won't mention it again !)

Yes, you mentioned it shortly after your post unnecessarily mentioning your "new car". :laugh: Do you always refer to it as that? i.e "'I've left my fags in the new car" or "the new car needs a wash".

 

Snob. :D

You're just jealous because I've got a new car !

I don't leave my fags in it, as I don't smoke, and I pay the foreigners to wash it - so there ! :p
