I had every intention of filling car back up and manually calculating consumption today, but the rather idiots at our local tescos pissed me off, so left the forecourt, leaving 10000 miles of rubber with them  >:(

I get angry every time I have to deal with the retards in the BP, so Tescos was the only other option, next nearest is a 12m round trip (Esso at Baynards Green)

Calm down Jamie fella, we got the same dickos in Tescos down here.

If possible, I tend to refuel the tractor in a nearby Shell garage for the same price per litre.
Car seems to run happier, and definately less emissions too!

They sound like the staff in my local one who tell me "you know that's LPG?" every time I go to pay...  ::)

Do they really think I might have managed to accidentally fill a petrol tank with LPG? ;D

I didn't even get as far as talking to the staff...

...its a diesel, so looked for gloves. None. Anywhere.  So looked for paper towels. None. Anywhere.  oppsit, I'll get covered in diesel, no probs, inserted card for pay at pump. No, not working.  Looked at people queuing out of kiosk (5p off vouchers), sod queuing - I'd queued in PO for 40mins to post some oof bits, and inBarclays for 15m to pay in cheque.

I'm embarrassed to say Mr Angry came out...
