Grandad.Malky   11 #39 Posted June 12, 2008 Unfortunately probably nothing that out of the ordinary; my medium sized diesel estate car now costs £75 to fill from empty.  I don’t think we have reached £6 a gallon yet but if we had:-  75/6 = 12.5 gallons that’s not what I would call a medium sized car.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mathom   10 #43 Posted June 12, 2008 It is not the politicians saying that there are only three Shell garages in Sheffield that are effected by the strike. It is a fact.  Indeed. It wouldn't matter if it had been Jeffrey Archer who said it, I'd still know it was a fact.  The only different way of going about things is if you're planning a long trip, don't count on filling up on the motorway as service stations are almost all Shell, but then the exorbitant price charged at them places will probably mean they'll never run dry anyhow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Grandad.Malky   11 #45 Posted June 12, 2008 Are you literally filling the car up rather than just filling up the fuel tank?  When I had a Saxo I seem to remember a 6 gallon tank, could have been 8.  £6 x 8 = £48 , even a 10 gallon tank would only give £60 and I think we are still way short of £6 a gallon.
