Nope px’d the cayenne (actually a bloody good car) because we have the floofs (our Pyrenean mountain dog/shepherd cross) that are humongous 60+kgs and the other 3 dogs she wanted something bigger. So she got a Mercedes Gls so my animals continue to cost a disproportionate amount of dosh.

Government getting there money back for the Billions they gave away Correct. Nothing in life is free so needs paying back by the tax payer.

I think I need to swap my RD for a CG125. That thing used to use a teaspoon of fuel a week. I'm averaging about 130 euros a week on fuel and oil for the RD.

Bloody hell mate. How many miles are you going? My Yaris does 50mpg so maybe a gallon a week. The Spit does, err, 20ish...but it's more fun!

Just heard from my son in law who is driving back from Spa: ‘Can't believe fuel prices in Germany and Belgium. They're 1.56 euro. That's £1.33. Ludicrously low’ And this article appeared on the BBC website from the Daily Mirror: Drivers fear they've 'been taken for mugs' at garage selling 'cheapest fuel' - The Mirror apple.news/AySifN58LSxy2Y-LbJpE8FQ

Prices dropping again here in the States.
"The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline plunged 32 cents over the past two weeks to $4.54 per gallon."
Hopefully a price cut is on it's way to you all soon as well.

Hopefully a price cut is on it's way to you all soon as well. I am just back home from USA and spent a few weeks in California Gas prices varied between $5.70 and $7.00 per gallon US, which is the most expensive I have ever remembered. Hopefully things are moving in the right direction now

What happened to the 110? The V8 has been mothballed for the last two years and the series2 is still chugging along as daily transport or towing duties

It's still too cheap. In fact it's so cheap that the school run taxi's of mum and dad can sit inside their car, on the phone, with the engine running and air con going, rather than opening the windows and switching off the engine. And it's not a minority of the cars sat in our street at kicking out time doing it.

Apparently he said he had new batch of fuel in and he was able to pass the price cut on but the other petrol stations including the supermarkets haven't passed it on,well not by 16p

Was talking to John McGuinness last night at Bainbridge hill climb he said he didn’t go to Brands Hatch BSB because it would have cost £650 in fuel in his motorhome.

BP made 9 billion profit in the last 3 months. A record. There are only a handful of people that I would happily cross the road just to punch them in the face. The boss of BP is now on the list.
