[geoffr70]

Yeah it's a right bummer, I managed £82 the other week!

[millwall]

£45 to fill mine up today from just under quater tank  and it will do as many miles as £80 in a omega  happy days   until i buy another omega later in the year

Yeah, I'd rather waste money in tax going to our failing state than drive anything less.

i think i can live with that  and pay less for fuel  insurance and road tax

I can't really get a cheaper quote than what I pay for my Elite, only by 40 quid or so, and that's for a crappy old 1.2

[geoffr70]

Yeah i don't mind, it's a nice car, and you pay for what you want! Boh selecta

[Amigo]

I try (it's not easy) to ignore all the fuel price hikes but try to fill up at supermarkets. If i watched every forecourt price i think i'd cry.
    Head happily in sand & the growl makes it all worthwhile! 8-)

No matter what we drive, we are all in the same boat.  I'm currently averaging 19.2MPG.

If I wanted an economical car, I'd have bought something completely different.

Most of us on the forum own a V6....... we are unable to say the word economy, let alone wish for it. 

[geoffr70]

From my latest tank (25 miles in) I'm averaging 15 ish!

i get over 800 miles out of a full tank in my french shitbox

I personally think its digusting! Used to run Capris and a tenner would let me run about for the day, twenty if I was "using" it, lol. In the last two days running about the doors in the Omega, £45!  I only use V Power in the bike, £22 to fill a three gallon tank! £11 to £13 to fill it a year ago!I drive a lorry for a living so thank god I dont have to pay to fill it! 300l to top up tank on lorry, £410!!!! Consider this, If I get a full load i.e. just under 44 tons, take this load from Glasgow to Sittingboune, the lorry uses that 300l, so theres £410  taken away from my gaffer to pay for that diesel, he has to then pay me for doing that run, then he has payments to make for the lorry from the earnings of that run and all the taxes he incurs and running costs all added together he can be looking at a bill that will be at minimum £550 and what does he get paid for this run? £468! At this time last year he was making money on a run like this but not now because of the fuel prices. very soon lots of hauliers will be out of the business because of this, the life blood of the country! The governments greed is despicable! Im   not advocating this and this is purely my view but we need to make a stand before this country collapses!
