See I have grown to love the mig. When I got it, I was apprehensive. But the comfort and space have become too good to lose. HOWEVER, fuel is my single biggest expense per month bar none. I need to reduce the cost without large expense. Now the LPG idea did cross my mind, but the initial cost makes it an unviable option right now :(

I caught the tail end of a program last week.....not sure which one.
Bloke was straining used cooking through what looked like a J cloth......added some chemical to it.......and bunged in straight into the tank of a diesel.....
He did say you have to add a £3 filter to the tank, presumably before the main diesel filter and that you have to change it every 1k miles...
Wonder what the chemical was ::)
Interesting ::)

Anyone else feel like parting with their car for something that runs a fair bit more economically??
At an average of 29.9mpg since I have had her (6 months), I am finding the rising fuel costs a tad crippling, and as such am considering selling my rather lovely Omega for something a little less juicy. Fuel has gone up over 20% since I bought the car, it's way beyond a joke now.
I have LPG, but will still be downgrading
i need to sacrifice the overall running costs, maintainence, tax and insurance, to invest in a nest for me and my lovely future-wife

But you have over 5000, makes you gay.
Or did you mean to say 'Partner' ;D ;D ;D

:o You can`t say that Mike....it`s [i]"Significant other"[/i] these days. ::)
Anyway, 'partner' sounds like what gay cowboys call each other! ;D
I work in used car sales and nobody is buying big cars, consequently they are plummeting in value.

Ride it out cos the fuel has to come down at some point. Some members may now think i am on the glue but i do think it will plus the bigger cars are not selling well at the mo so you could stand to loose a lot of money selling it just to buy a car that you might not like and try to save £10 a week on fuel.
Have a good long think about it but i can tell you now my two migs are staying :y

Trouble is I'm not so sure it will come down significantly and even if it did, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Chancellor would bang a few extra pence tax on it that he was planning to do anyway. >:(

Interesting article here: http://www.physorg.com/news134646313.html
Extract: "Since 2003, worldwide oil prices have quadrupled. According to a new study, the price of oil is rising at a faster-than-exponential rate, and cannot be sustained. In other words, we’re in the midst of an oil bubble, say researchers Didier Sornette and Ryan Woodard of ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Wei-Xing Zhou of the East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai, China...
...A comparison of supply and demand showed that, most recently, supply has been exceeding demand by more than a half million barrels per day."
Yes, it IS a bubble. Question is, when will it burst?

Very soon... although I belive, and it is my opinion only that there is some kind of conspiracy surrounding the real reaons oil is highly priced. I question if stocks really are so low??? Just me being a distrusting duff ;)
