I've set myself a limit of 1.40 a litre soon as it hits that I'll be getting rid of my Evo as it drinks like a fish what's the maximum you'll pay for fuel before giving it all up?

cossie col

Ill pay whatever it is because there is nothing I can do about it.

It's Czech Mate

Saw UL at 1.32.9 at oxford services this avo :s

neilscott83

Fucksake that's a joke 8p more and I'll be fucking it off can't keep paying these stupid prices getting to the point where I begrudge putting fuel in it now!

rabmc

dont really care anymore as I dont work for myself now, company ride, company fuel!! private too

The missus car is a 1.4 feista and does around 15 miles a day to work.

But its a joke and i have no words to describe how much everyone gets shafted day to day!

When premium UL gets to around £1.20 litre I will be taking the V6 injectors out my twincam and putting standard ones back in. That will give me about 40 miles extra per 1/2 tank straight away. I'd suffer the flatspot around 3k for the fuel saving.

When V-Power hits much over £1.30-£1.40 litre the cabriolet will be getting knocked back to standard timing and the carb rejetted to suit premium UL.

It is getting ridiculous now.

2 years ago, I used to put £15 of fuel in my workhorse Cinquecento and that would last me for work for a month. I filled it up the other day and it took £27

neilscott83

Sure I heard the goverment are putting tax up 3p per litre by January 2011.

rossco22

Ive already got to that point , just cant keep waisting money on fuel, ive moved over to performance diesels now so that atleast im getting a sensible mpg return for the ever increasing fuel cost ....

foreigneRS

are you taking inflation into account?

neilscott83

Fair point there mate still doesn't warrant the amount of fuel duty we pay and our roads are still shit.

kosman

ill always pay for the cossy,but ill fuck work car off and sign on instead because i wont be able afford to go work

tsutton

I too am consider changing car... cost me £65 to fill up my ST170 with BP Ultimate and it only gives me around 260 miles!!

More fool you for running it on BP Ultimate. I run mine on regular Unleded and get the same if not more MPG!

tsutton

You don't know the history of my car. :P

Got Dreamscience mapped in my car for RON 97. And I have not got the handset anymore!

But I still have Bluefin somewhere... so might install that and pick RON 95 map.

EIL132

If you think it's bad here, Germany and France are about 6-7p more! It'll be near or over £1.50 at the end of the year I bet.

Just run it on 95ron. wont make ant difference

foreigneRS

but that's mainly due to the crap exchange rate - it doesn't mean that they are paying as much as us in relative terms

I'll pay whatever it is because we dont have a choice. I drive for fun not for work so it just makes my hobby more expensive.
You'll be selling it up by autumn i suspect

mate signing on aint that great, £60 a week + the 1 person shared rent rate (if under 25) and council tax benefit is all you will get. So unless your planning on a sex change, getting preggers or going on the rob/working illegally cash in hand then youll struggle to run, insure a cossy and live on dole money.

I'm actually dreading putting V power in the 200, as it drinks it compared to my nice economical corsa (which does 30 miles less to £20 than it did 6 months ago )

Can't even get V power here at all at the min, what a JOKE

COCHYN

Not a question on how much I would pay, its more of what you'd have to pay in order to keep getting from A to B in style and power

Im sure i saw £1.26 somewhere...... must have been for Esso super-unleaded. Could be wrong though.

I put £50 of Tesco super in the scoob and got 240miles off it which was nice!! mr2 was only doing just about that on £45-50 of normal UL.
I put Esso normal UL in the other day- my car will be ok on it wont it? (standard uk turbo model)
Its such a bloody big rip off, oil prices havent even risen.

As fuel prices keep rising and it becomes more and more in the public eye, the re-sale values of 'performance' cars is gonna slump big time I reckon.

Cossie hasnt moved for months, although thats mainly down to the fact its fooked . But I havent bothered my arse to sort it knowing Ill not run it anyway as its too thirsty.

M5 hasnt moved for about 3 weeks either.

I use my 205 daily as its pretty ok on fuel and a right hoot to drive. Weather permitting I use the R1 a lot too.

neilscott83

Hit the nail on the head there things like evos scoobys maybe even mk2 focus rs's will have the arse drop out of em doubt it'll change Cossie prices they seem to have shot up lately!

Harris.

I only put £30 a month in the cossie as i only use it some weekends .
Time for the lorrys to block the roads again i think

I have never once looked to see how much petrol is anyway! So I couldn't tell you how much it is or if it has gone up. As others have said, I don't really need to drive a great deal. I work less than a mile from home. Maybe once every few weeks I may need to go on the road for a lengthy trip, but that's it really.

Petrol in itself isn't expensive it's the amount of bastard tax those robbing wankers in the government shove on it.

ST200? If so there's no point in using VPower over regular fuel, unless you like paying for more expensive fuel for no performance gain!

I will still pay for it.Them greedy coonts wont stop we having fun.

Fuel is still cheap.

FACT
When i started driving fuel was 24p (4s 10d) & the average wage was £860 a year if we say 25k is the average today then the equivalent is £7.5 a gallon.

If you consider that each one of us is going to be taxed on average at least an extra £2800 per year after the election to service the mess we are in, the price of petrol will be the least of our problems.

Ginge !

are you on crack ???

theres more cars on the road so its ment to be cheeper,,,,, its gone up compared to the last 20 years,,,,,, how do you work out its cheep ??? with the cost of housing higher than it was too,,, as in 2 3rds of most peoples wages and insurance is also ALOT higher too,,, i fail to see how " its cheep"

m3 hasn't moved for over a month even though it is taxed and insured. use my old transit for work and our lasses rover 214 for runing around in. can't realistically see the m3 getting taxed again when it runs out at the end of the month. just don't use it enough. will be off the road for the forseable future i think.
