I have long since regarded petrol as a luxury item hence why I run an xjs at weekends and use an old van to go to work in! I take comfort in the fact that the 4.0 litre car achieves 24 mpg over 12 months...........

I'm guessing the cost of fuel will only be going up, not down as time goes by. If that assumption is correct, it is now at its cheapest price, so make use of it while you can.

Off topic, how is that xjs of yours coming along BB? Time for an update report.

heh heh! very good....

I need to fill up my V12 this weekend - first time out since winter hibernation. Assuming that the pumps have not run dry I could be looking at a £140 bill :shock: (Shell V-Power = 144.9p a litre - pricing sourced from http://www.WeSawYourThirstyJagComing.com)
