Default Just filled up with V-Power at 45p/litre!

actually, $2.75 per gallon, and they're all up in arms here at the regular stuff (95 equivalent) creeping back up towards $2.50 a gallon (about 40p/litre).

I can fill a 12 gallon (imperial, approx 55 litre) tank here for less than 25 quid!
and it wasn't long ago when it was less than $2/gallon and $2 to the £ - those were the days

Default Nothing special

some crappy Toyota CX7 turbo or whatever it's called, but the one thing I've always liked about this place is that it is the Land of the V8 Rumble...

although maybe not for much longer - the 'increasing cost of fuel' (looxury!- said in a Monty Python northern accent) has already got them thinking and the government is offering a 'guzzler trade-in' similar to our old vehicle scrappage scheme...they're even talking diesel now, yes diesel!!
