Does it work if you go for the sleep option instead ;)

In 2002, petrol was about 69.9p per litre.

That's the year I passed my driving test. I really wish we were paying those prices.

I paid up to 35p a litre when I had my first car. With a 35l tank it cost no more than 12GBP to fill up.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

OASN I remember a trip back from Bristol to home. I was sure I was going to run out of fuel and had only small change but had to use motorway services for a toilet break. I had a smoke and some obviously underage child asked for a ciggy. I sold him one stick for 50p and with the rest of the coppers in pocket manged to get enough fuel to finish my journey.

:oops:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

These days you'd have to sell your mobile to get enough cash for petrol...

My guitar teacher's daughter is assembling the bouquets handed out at the Olympics and Paralympics. The college at Writtle is the base for those operations. They are making thousands of them.

I think cigs is the one thing to have kept up in price!

My Grandad still logs how much he pays for petrol every time he fills up in a book that resides in the glovebox. Slightly crazy but it made interesting skimming recently. He has records back to the '70s, and the prices are hard for me to comprehend. So cheap.

I know someone who does that for his cars. He logs the amount, cost, type of fuel. All seems a little OCD to me.

I occasionally do fuel logging for long trips. I don't want to know when I'm driving locally... :lol:

Soon after I got my first car, I started logging it. At one point it felt sluggish and the logs showed the mpg had dropped dramatically. Down to a dodgy spark plug.
