Shock.....:eek: You can all afford to fill the tanks.:P

V-Power is at 107.9 by me.

with all the miles I do, my wages are now down about £30 a week, due to the recent increases :( thats £120 a month!!! bloody hard, I'm going for another job :(

I think the last trip to the pumps cost me about £58 at Morrisons, but I wasn't empty

I reckon to get 500+ from a tank, nearer 600 if I do long journeys on it.

I was going to say 500-600 miles from £60 of fuel at the moment.

That is about 10p per mile purely in fuel, by the time you add insurance, maintaining the car, tax and anything else in that 40p per mile looks incredibly stingy.

And I bet there are a lot of company car drivers who's companies don't increae the fuel allowance at the same rate as fuel costs.

I make about 10p per mile out of my 40p allowance, that assuming my car is worth £0 in 2 years time.

It is annoying though, all the company car drivers get their rates adjusted for fuel costs (just gone up by another penny per mile), yet those with private cars is never adjusted from the 40p per mile allowance, the excuse being thats the tax threshold...

So what! Plenty of companies pay in excess of 50p per mile...

some companies also pay well below the 40p threshold. My ex's company pays 11p a mile for a diesel car and 13p a mile for petrol.

You do do your own servicing though Tom, which saves a lot of money.

£1.11 per litre of standard diesel at a bp garage today

I dont even look at the price any more, put £50 before xmas and got 580odd miles from it.

But, if you only fill your tank to half way, you save £££'s a year because your not driving around a full tank.

(thank you clarkson for that tip!)

I only noticed that this garage was so expensive because it cost more to fill my works kangoo up with regular diesel there than it does to fill up my fabia with ultimate at a different bp garage

Just been to my local Shell, V Power was....

1.20.9

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Drove round the corner and filled up with Texaco's 'High Octaine' 97 RON at 1.07.9

I was ****in flabagasted I can tell you.

Normal unleaded is 1.09.9 there... other Shell garages in the area are at around the 1.07.9 - 1.08.9 mark (V Power), but couldn't be bothered driving to the otherside of town on Friday evening to fill up.

Bit more of a strategic filling up policy will need to be developed over the next week

I checked my petrol spreadsheet today, this time last year I filled up with 46L of Shell petrol @ 83.9p/L, it cost £38.68. This week, the same Shell garage is charging... 101.9p, the same fill-up would cost £46.98!!!

A 21% increase and £8.30 extra each time, I've filled up 37 times in that year so that equivalent to an extra £307 per year - thats only on 13k(ish) miles @ 35(ish) mpg

back in may it was 92.9p for vpower now its 112.9 another quick question how much fuel is left in the tank when the fuel counter says you only have 0 miles left?

depends on your recent consumption
