well just filled up my car with diesel, £80.01 but I should get about 600 miles out of it so can't complain too much, that's the trip to Stirling then Blackpool next weekend covered
Saying that when I first past my test petrol was only 29p per litre

Anyone notice the price of fuel coming down? Which usually means that it rises at a greater rate in the next month or so |

Used to go to France once a fortnight and seal the tanks when I lived down south - used to hold 1300 litres!! Was cheaper to go on leshuttle to France and back than fill up here  |

Trucks might be different but there have been various tests done over the years, comparing cars running on supermarket fuel with the main fuel companies.
The conclusions have always been the same, that although the main companies' fuel might give marginally better mpg, when you factor in the price there's little difference in the overall cost.
And although some individuals claim that their car runs better on mainstream fuel, most people don't notice any difference. |

I've not long just got my first diesel car and notice a huge difference. If I'm not driving any distance I'm probably about £30 a week . Sometimes £50 if I'm going a little further  |

Central Scotland to Exeter on less than a full tank of diesel! 
That's a full car boot and kids too - that's why I like my car |

"Asda at Straiton £1.217. But heres the thing - it cost me £66 to fill up last night but it cost much the same when it was £1.269 per litre! How can that be!? "
Slight difference in the amount of fuel in your tank before you filled up would be the logical explanation. |

It could be the temperature of the fuel some sites have a function that keeps it Level and others don't. . |

"My worst mpg figures were, 6 miles to the gallon and that was taking it easy.lol A 1971 mustang 390gt.
Old and drive a deisel now "
I drive a US pick up and it's gallons to the mile. Had a trans am and it was 8 to the gallon.
Wouldn't change it's for the world. Small price to pay for not driving something generic - with a huge back seat - open to offers
Truckers amongst us will know certain hills, coming out if Inverness springs to mind, where your wagon will drop to 1 mpg easy.
Fuel is still extortionate but it's dropped a fair bit in the central belt over past few months. |
