Time to turn the boost up, and go for single figures in the MPG department :agree:

petrols up to £1.23 down here at the mo and diesel is £1.33. i think there will be a big rise in petrol theft not only from petrol stations but from peoples cars to :sad2:

it makes me sick :mad::mad: But on a good point the r5gtt is very cheap to run. ie tax insurence. thats why its best to keep these little fun cars going on the road for as long as possleble. :agree: and you wont fine a cheaper car that gives you so much fun as you get with a 5gtt. for the money imo. ie my wifes got a focus st the tax is 245 a year. and 40 to50 pound a week in petrol. with my 5 it costs 125 a year to tax and only 15 pound aweek in petrol. and its leves the st for dead. happy days.:D

it is a bit of a joke tbh, we're the highest taxed country in the world, yet we're being told we're being let off "lightly" for what happened?

what a crock of s**t:sad2:

With how the exchange rate is to the euro, petrol over in europe aint much cheaper if not the same price.

Anyone on here started using diesel biofuel in their run arounds? Put a 50/50 mix in for the first time today (50% B100 and 50% normal derv). It's about 106p for B100 around my way.
