Title: The joys of derv ownership!
Post by: Ben_1uk on 07 August 2008, 12:49
Just returned from a few days holiday up in Scotland. Nearly a 700 mile round trip on one tank of fuel :shocked: :grin:

Also, had the post this morning - £120 to tax my car for 12 months :grin: I was previously paying £115 for 6 months (ST170).

Gotta love diesel!
