There was a fuel station (BWOC) in Exeter selling it at 199.99p for a while the other day!! The news crews came to start filming and guess what happened later that day.. That's right, price back to normal.

******* robbing cnuting b@stards. I hope they go bust!!!

Texaco next to M621 J2 was at 134.9 today, 1 mile away the Shell was 130.9, another mile at the White Rose Sainsbury's it was 127.9. You don't have to be fleeced !

Audi quote 28.8mpg for the combined cycle. 0-62 in 8.5s and 134mph, so not that quick, but good for its size. The 5.0 V12 Twin Turbo will be quick however.

And to think, I was paying €1.28 a litre in spain last week, thats just about £1 a litre, and there was a national strike of all lorry drivers and fisherman for 5 days protesting at the cost.

If only Global Warming was really happening, and we let it continue, we would all be warm enough in winter to not need to spend so much keeping warm.
