im of the thinking the less we use the likes of shell and Bp, we are helping drive the cost down of fuel, as they are the big players in the fuel industry. If we dont buy fuel from them and shop at the likes of the supermarkets for fuel instead, we are more likely to see prices fall due to lack of custom on their forecourts.  May be worth a thought that one.

you know what...

My eta when i got out of london was like 19:03, even after driving like a complete loser i still got there at 19:26.....

i got there completely relaxed aswell, no getting stressed of goons who don't understand lane discipline as i just sat behind the same thing the entire way....

I was actually coming up with ideas of how i could create some weird magnet thing and hitch a free ride and just leave the car on tickover haha!

Used T99 in mine from new and in my LCR and only use V Power if get caught short (like today).. Have always thought both cars performed better on the Tesco's motion lotion and at about 3p cheaper a litre, seems better for the wallet too..
Plus (as has already been mentioned) T99 has performed better in the tests too.. :wink:

i had to drive from canary wharf out to the M4, was on my way to barnstaple.

Definitely the most economical the car is is around 50-60 in 6th... Then slip in a bit of free wheeling and you'll kick ass!

That's silly MPG.. I have managed 37mpg out of mine to Newcastle the other month, sat at 70 all the way.
Just got about 380 out of my last tank too and that was Miss Daisy driving..
