This has to be a first.

At Sainsbury filling station on Bagshot Road Bracknell today, 3 Phaetons at same time getting fuel.

Don't you need to refuel at every petrol station you pass in one of those, to avoid running out of fuel.

A bit like a Leaf on the motorway and charging points really   :-X ;D

For a 2.5 tonne car - the 37 mpg I get on long runs is pretty good. I do not use it for short journeys but I am sure it would still be more economic than the Omega 3.2!

I must admit, I saw a tasty V10 TDI one at Micheldever tyres last weekend. I know I've vowed never to buy a tractor, but... ::)

So, when does this petrol station get re-stocked, in case I'm passing? ;D

If I didn't have a dog to tote around with me all day, it would be high on my list. It would have to be petrol because of my very low mileage, but that very thing would probably make it viable.

Anyone want a westie?  :(
