Yeh but I'll get 10-15 miles further on my litre of lorry fuel.  :P

I don't ...  :-\

15 extra miles for each litre...... :o :o :o :o :o

That's roughly an extra 75 EXTRA miles for each gallon. :D

£1.55 per litre for diesel at our local BP Station just now.

Considering the lights were showing just under half a tank, I still managed to get £70 of diesel in it.  :o

I'm happy with the mpg of the ML, it's better than the R Class was. I can easily see 30 going to work and on a long run . as long as I'm steady with my right foot I can see 35/36mpg. But I can easily make it do low 20s around town. It just brings a tear to the wallet when you fill it from empty  :'(

£1.55 Diesel & £1.51 Petrol don't use a lot of fuel now we're both retired & to be honest I don't normally look at the price, just fill them when they need it, just the fact that I was on the school run & passed our local station, neither of our vehicles are economical so I could make savings if I really had to, most I've ever had to pay after refuelling was £109 when I drove down to Devon with the tin tent in the RRS.

£1.47.8 for E10 seems to be cheapest round here to a high of £1.51.9 at nearest[Jet] station.Don't care what prices are for any other type of fuel.

Aah yes....  ::)

See what you old codgers who were brought up with imperial measurements don't understand is how easy it is for youngsters like me who were taught metric to get confused when using both systems.  :-\

Which reminded me of the brain trauma acquired yesterday from trying to work out what four fluid ounces was compared to a US gallon.

We settled on about a table spoon for every US gallon of water. And concluded that if it were that potent we should probably use something else...  ::)

Just filled up the work Traaaaaaansit from about half a tank. 58 quid later... I think it would work out cheaper to fill it with whisky. Still, not my money...

A fluid ounce is the same thing on both sides of the Atlantic, however they only have 16 of them in a pint whereas we have 20 of them. We both have 8 pints in a gallon, hence their gallon is smaller.

3.78 'liters' = 1 US gallon
4.54 litres = 1 Imp gallon

Yes....I said 'roughly' 5 litres to a gallon so I wasn't far wrong. :)
