cruise control on the same stretch of motorway a few times is a way of removing the placebo effect. :)

A months worth of mixed driving would be a better test, besides I used to get around 4mpg more using my right foot over the cruise control on my Senator on the A1.

Our Costco has started selling fuel - £1.03 for petrol, £1.04 Diesel  :y

Just got my first tank of Costco fuel ...... not sure why it's taken me so long.

Petrol 98.?p/litre
Diseasal 99.9 p/litre ...... the cheapest Fuel of the Devil I've ever bought ...... but £76 for a full tank was nice  ;D ;D

I think the local BP was 106 for petrol a couple of days back, but they are reknown mongrels who really look at fuel as a way of upselling overpriced bread, ready meals and wanky coffee.

Thinking more petrol for bike/3.2 - if I use the bike I pass the Costco at Sunbury.

I remember paying mid 70's for LPG, so if petrol drops to mid 90s be very pleased. Means 3.2 will cost same to run as 2.2 did a couple of years ago  :o
