changing fuel costs!!

Mr ZS180 · 04-03-11, 08:09 AM

A few days ago I put some fuel in my car from my local shell garage (i always use v-power) and was rather annoyed that vpower was 137.9p whereas regular was 129.9p per litre. 8ppl is quite a difference!!

However, I went again yesterday and regular is now 130.9p and v-power has gone down to 135.9p per litre. Now only a 5p difference. I'm happy now :-)

On another note what's with the nozzle on the momentum pumps? I tried that when I first got my zs and it wouldn't fit. I had to pay for 15p petrol in the end!!

fuel prices in this country are a joke and not a funny one! 80p of every litre goes straight into the government coffers as tax...80p a litre! And to add insult to injury the oil companies are making massive profits....massive!! We, the motorist, are getting shafted from all angles totally f**ks me off!!
I've got one of those Shell Drivers Club card, so, you buy fuel and get points, you can then cash in points for a cash voucher. Now, Shell used to send out promo vouchers..e.g get 200 points if you fill up with at least 25litres twice in March but now its 30litres!!! oh god i'm ranting.....end!!

anyway, have a look at this website, might be of some interest:-

I'm not saying I'm happy. I'm saying that I'm happier than I was 2 days ago. The fuel prices are changing the way people think about cars now. I'm now thinking about buying a 306td, fitting a high pressure fuel pump and using a 50/50 mix of diesel and veg oil, possibly more when it heats up more. Even if it dies after a while it will only cost the equivalent of about 10 full tanks in the zs
