There are efficient cars out there. My mum's 3 cyl up claims 70mpg but it's a lying VW...

50mpg is about 15p a mile at the price I paid (think it was some 97 ron shit)

At 52.5p a KW the e would be the same

It grinds my nuts how incompetent our gov are. From bumbling Johnson to Maggie obsessed slagbot who thinks she can break all the rules..

Incredible
Chances of her solving the root cause? I'd put it around 0%

First overnight charge of the month. 21.4 kWh units at 7.5p/unit exactly.

Car on 3614 miles, 935.8kWh fuel, £74.30 paid. Includes a few public charges excludes freebie overnight granny charge.

Average 7.9p/unit 0.2p/mile all on Octopus 'Agile' then 'Go'. Octopus dish out the Govt £400 by taking £67 off the next 6 months Direct Debits. A bit nanny state IYAM.

I was paying 138 quid a month for my dual fuel So Energy tariff for the last 12 months..
Now... Had the alert that mine is reducing by net 20 quid a month with this 60 odd quid help from Liz for the next 6 months. Hopefully Putin will be dead and buried by then.. And the reduced price continues

Our prices are 50p+ elec (up from 14.2p up ~245%), gas is about 10.2p (up from 2.45p ~316%)

Edit to say the point I am making is that gas has gone up by 316%, represents only a fraction of cost of electricity gen and yet electricity is 245% more expensive. Simple maths tells you this is obvious fraud. Twatang lining his hedge fund buddies up for the mini budget same deal
This government needs destroying. Not just voting out but putting in court

I'm not a protestor. I'm not into civil disorder but I will join in. They need removing. And these two, burying. Gadaffi style.

(Not the sad ex of this forum btw)

Made the granny... The Beeb tried to ignore it for whatever reason.

Probably a matter of when rather than if
They've been doing it a while, now.

Honda is selling a lot fewer cars in Europe, but are making more profit per car, chasing quality, not quantity.

This was interesting
“In 2014 we really started in earnest to make sure that our PCP and our overall finance propositions were strong. We now have 80% finance penetration across the new car range. What we also see in our used cars is strong finance penetration as well. 50% of all used car buyers that buy through Honda, financing on PCP, buy a new car next time around. That’s a great retention tool in transitioning customers from used to new and making it and affordable way to make that step
so renters rent? Shock.

Honda went through a spell of building crap I think.. the FN2 for example and all that gen
The Chinese jazz

I know everyone else does it, my mum's Up! is a ****ing shitbox and the OHs Qashqai is dire but bulletproof
now at least they build some nice cars again

The new CTR i quite like

It has me thinking. School run ceases in a few months, her car expires soon.

Given electric makes **** all sense any more maybe i should trade the e in?

being the wrong side of 30 the last gen was a bit much regardless of quality. Its made in Japan so ticks that box

Unless you already have a deposit with a dealer you might struggle to get an allocation.

They are being produced in relatrively low numbers and the UK is not going to get many.

It's probably no surprise to you that I have one on the way ;-)

A few...

Although some of them should not really be classed as a CTR
