I just got my first reminder to renew my car tax and guess what its 125 quid  :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug:

I just shoved some fuel in my GTI earlier and it was £1.26 a litre. The black pump was £1.30 a litre, had big oily stains all around it and stunk. Nowt worse than going into the kiosk to flirt with the lady assistant, then handing over your debit card with a stinky hand!!!  :laugh:


What I also didn't mention was that it was my elderly Ibiza GTI I was filling up that runs on 95 RON rather than the pricier 97 stuff that goes in the Golf.....shh

I feel ever so sorry for pregnant women filling their cars with that smelly stuff.  :grin:

Spent £72.59 for a full tank yesterday and will get me less than 300 miles  :cry:

Still, I wouldn't swap it for a diesel  :evil: :wink:

I managed to squeeze 400 miles out of my GTi the other fortnight. But I was so bored doing it I may as well have had a diesel.
So I now I just say **** it. I floor it on the country roads and just cruise on the motorway. I end up with about 34/34.5 mpg which I don't think is too bad.
Petrol's 5p a litre less around here too.
