Diesel is 2p more than petrol here :) did you also account for the tax being almost half the price?

600mes to a full tank. Don't mind if i do.

Swings and roundabouts, petrol/diesel it's all well over priced.

They can charge £5 a ltr if they wanted so long as my wages went up inline with that I wouldn't care. It's the realative cost that gets me. A larger and larger proportion of my earnings is going on fuel, leaving less and less for frivolous stuff like food, rent and electricity.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

My average is around 35 too, most of my driving is too/from work on the A34/A4074 :sick: I might as well just get a petrol car that I can enjoy  :grin:
