Feel free to add them on here, any locations on filling stations which serve Super is welcome. I put tescos as I get club card points etc and that's what I personally use as the shell in my town is way way too expensive compared to v99 momentum 3 miles away.

Personally having lived in a few places down south for most of my life (Leicester, Birmingham & Luton) & driving for a living my suggestion would be AS BELOW as you're maximising dual carriageways and motorways where your avg speed will be higher and the only road which can be a bit of an ass is A66 but its better than A1 Newcastle to edinburgh which has alot of single carriageway, its not as long as folk would think but its a long drive because of mileage i'd say 11-12hrs tbh. Go A14 to Huntingdon A1/A1(M) from Huntingdon upto Scotch Corner turn onto A66 across the Pennines onto M6 J40 north (once you're here its 2hrs to glasgow and another 3hrs in inverness) If you need to fillup theres a Tesco on J43 M6 turn left into Carlisle centre its on right hand side (i'm basing this as fuel stop on my fiesta st tank capacity and mpg) then head back onto M6 north Cross the border into god's country lol then you'll be on M74 J4 onto M73 then it onto M80 onto M9 then A9 north etc upto Inverness where you can fill up on the Tesco Extra Inverness A9/A96 the adresss is above ^^^^^.

I did this for another page heres a list of stations that serve Super Unleaded There's not many places in Highlands that serve 98RON Super Unleaded If you're going up to remote areas of Scotland and use Super Unleaded i hope this helps. I compiled a list of fuel stations for my road trip last year that I used to fill up Super Unleaded (when i last used them august 2014). I'll also put in a couple of Tesco Sites i've used too. I have personally used all these sites in my Fiesta ST with no problems.

Well I cant actually get a good measure right now using Samsung Magician as for some reason its/or windows 10 is using the ram cache so i'm getting reading of seq reads 3721 MB/s and seq writes as 3542 MB/s which i know to not be true as its rated to 540Mb read and 520Mb writes. I do know that using them on a Sata II connection i used to get 240-260MB/s and then when i built the i7 and swapped it to a Sata III port it was reporting around 500-520. I think the IOPS are being correctly reported but until i cant find a way to force it to switch of cache i'll leave it as its working just nicely lol.

Hey life used to be so simple when computing was just kilobytes & megabytes no gigabyte ot terabytes, now we gotta deal with megabits, gigabits as well pffftt

So at 12,500 with fuel counter having never been reset at 37.2mpg i really must drive like a girl then PMSL A lot of the FSTOC memebers have said that mountune mp215 actually seems to marginally improve fuel economy although most of us are alway using Super unleaded of course (was told a long time ago that anything above 170bhp and especially higher power turbo'd engines need a higher octane fuel). It not like i haven't done some spirited driving honestly, I did most of the North Coast 500 before it was called NC500 and had great holiday in North Wales with spirited driving when possible. Also having Kilsyth Hills right on my doorstep i have quite alot of utterly fantastic roads here in Scotland within a 2hr drive of my home that i enjoy alot. I wish i could keep both cars but with mileage gf does she needs a boring diesel and i decided i wanted a practical and fun diesel because well why not, i loved the Mk1 Octavia vRS wasn't as keen on Mk2 but having seen a white Mk3 at Skoda Siedlce, Poland it made think again and now i'm just about to place the order proper. This is why i don't get some folks attitude to badge snobbery on skoda and yet happily buy a seat or pay for a VW/Audi prices any yet these cars all share common platforms/running etc. Still it will be my first skoda i've driven since i learnt to drive in a Favorit way back in early 1994

Can't actually remember at top of my head right now all the specs of all the machines but here goes..... First computer was a: Vic20 dad didn't keep this long and only remember it briefly being only 4-5yr old at time. dragon 32 (loved that machine and I remember dad and Allan playing madness & Minotaur for 25hrs straight in my bedroom and power pack was so hot it took 2-3hrs too cool down) spectrum 48k (rubber keys) dad brought it cheap off my uncle spectrum 128k (toast rack) wish I'd have kept it and should never have got rid of it spectrum 128k +3 Amiga 500 (512k exp ram with clock and extra floppy) Dad brought an Amstrad 3286 (1MB RAM, 40MB HDD,VGA)with MS-DOS 3.3 Windows 3.0 Amiga 1200 (kept the external floppy from a500) but standard confit, was later stolen only 2 yrs ago so had to buy another. Dad brought this as well giving me the Doom 1-2 bug 486DX2/66 8MB then16MB, 500MB HDD Multimedia MPC1 spec with a black widow scanner on a SCSI Dad and I clubbed together to build Pentium 200MX My first own build PC way back in 2000-01 was AMD K6-3/400 brought our first scsi CD burner which was a Yamaha 4x AMD T-bird 1GHz AMD 2GHz AMD 3200 Barton was very proud of this machine as I got two 74GB WD raptors and used raid 0, brought two plextor optical drives one for ripping CD's and other for DVD's. Wish I'd have kept them. The razor mouse I brought for this PC back in 2003 still works now. My present machines are Intel E4300 1.8GHz 2GB ram later upgraded to Q6600 2.4 then Q9550 2.83 with 8GB and still working despite it being built in 2007 My main rig is Intel i7-3930K 32GB, GTX Titan, samsung 256GB sad, 3TB HDD, BD-R and 3x23" monitors. My laptop (but gf steals it loads) Alienware R17 i7-4980, 16GB ram, GTX980M 4GB 128SSD & 1TB HDD I had to buy this on eBay to replace the stolen A1200Amiga A1200 with 68030/40 16mb, in-division board, 4GB CF card, laptop CD-ROM with ribbon connector.

I have a Honeywell Evohome fitted to 7 radiators at the moment and I used 12,500kWh of gas which is about average for UK. Where I live in Scotland (central belt) it gets very gusty during winter because I live on a hill so considering I have learn how to use the thing properly and set the temps and times for each room I don't think that's a bad effort. Where it comes in handy is being able to keep a minimum temp of 15-16c when I'm away from home and then being able to turn up the temp just before driving from work to home to get a nice toasty warm house when I'm back. I don't know if it would have saved my energy as I brought the house last year and have had to learn where it loses heat etc but I certainly makes it more comfortable so that alone was worth it to me. Any questions on Honeywell feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to help.

I hate to be a bore on only my 3rd ever post but actually SATA is 6Gb (gigabits) not 6GB (gigabytes) which the absolute maximum is 768MB/s or 0.75GB/s and it's not uncommon for get SSD's which can reach a maximum of 500-550MB/s transfer speeds.

Well there's not a lot wrong with the fiesta and having a fully optioned ST-2 I got a few toys that I haven't optioned yet in the VRS due to cost. Basically I've found I needed a bigger car than I thought I did when I first brought the Fezzy. What give me food for thought was that I saw a lovely white Octavia with black roof and black wheels at Skoda Siedlce Poland and thought that's a great looking car. Im looking at candy white or race blue and I'm not sure which yet. I hope you don't mind me asking but what's your avg mpg'd on both the ST and VRS

Hi, i'm Alex and i'm currently driving a Fiesta ST-2 but have just ordered an Octavia vRS TDI. Some of you will be wondering why i'm purposefully ordering a slower car but basically I want and need a much larger car than my Fezzy. I could have gone down the petrol route but i know i might probably get a bit poorer mpg than what i'm getting at the moment (37.2mpg) and if i'm honest the only time i fully use the power is on my wee road trips thru the twisties. Going to confirm my order tomorrow and make sure i have options i can afford and i want ticked. Having taken the diesel out for a test drive i'm really very impressed and it doesnt feel that much slower than my ST which did suprise me, also i get the feeling its a car i can live with alot easier like doing Costco runs and being the goto family taxi driver. Hope to get settled in and ask a few questions with you guys soon. Alex
