I know the feeling i stopped at £95 as i couldn't bear the thought of putting more than £100 in the tank.

It's a worry

I noticed our local Tesco station had raised it's Pay @ Pump limit from £60 to £100 a few weeks back.

I've been kidding myself by putting £50 in a time and ignoring the fact I'm going back every other day

wow, how many miles do you lot do!
I thought i did alot at 25k. I also have to pay london prices quite often.

I have a 59 plate focus diesel estate. I dont know what size tank but i can only fit 55 quid in it.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

i drive a 1.9 cdti Astra and do 100 miles a day (50 to & 50 from work) ave fuel consumption on an average week is about 55-58 mpg over the whole tank, the most i've got from one tank is about 580 miles but i find im going to the pumps every 5-6 days.

owe tank of fuel costs me about £50-£55

I've never put more than £15 in my car at one time.

More fuel = heavier car = less fuel efficient

The other halfs BMW 320d takes about £80 to fill it, but you can do 780 miles on that at 90 with 4 in and all our holiday gear
