Passed a Shell station today, unleaded £198.9 and diesel £189.9, just outside Broxburn near Edinburgh, not on a motorway. Dearest I have seen, and, they had customers on the forecourt.

 

Indeed

I mention a sub £6 gallon

Seems mad now

Thanks for the energy security boris

 

Gonna have to start tipping 95 Ron in my 06, super u/l is silly money also.

 

I give the wife’s car a few litres of super every fill up, seems to go better than on E10, morempg too.

 

205p at the weekend for vpower
both s2000 needed £75 (well one £76), even the bike needed juice, that was £15 for a thimble tank
bet Putin is loving it, fact hunt

 

Honda 'e' has cost £48 for 2,700 miles to date charging at home on wee small hours low rate. Mind it goes up 50% shortly from 5p/kWh to 7.5p/kWh

The rest of the house and Ye Gods the bloody swimming pool don't even ask. But you only live once so what the heck.

We are swapping out the solar hot water adding more PV, unknown ROI

 

It's still far cheaper to take the car than taking public/alternative transport for the most part.
We were looking at a trip to Blackpool (for dancing, not fighting ) recently. The cheapest return on the train/bus for two would be about £220 for the two of us.

It's a round trip of about 460 miles. At 40mpg (easily achievable in the Golf) which is 10.567 miles per litre that's 43.5 litres which at £2 is £87.
Even with other car-related costs, it's still substantially cheaper, and a hell of a lot more convenient - the public transport route is a bus and 3/4 trains - no fun with luggage.
The only possible advantage is that it's probably slightly quicker by public transport on a Friday evening.

My bicycle is getting a lot more use!

 

My landscape gardener said a delivery now costs £250 from his supplier due to fuel costs
luckily I don't use my car much

 

If this is accurate it's rather alarming


£75 top up in the boosted S2 replaced 145 miles worth of fuel.. so it's basically a 50p a mile car
the e is 7p. But much slower and with better AC

 

I'm commuting in my S2000 everyday.. Managing 350-370 miles a tank. Bloody boring, however, can't be arsed to work out the exact mpg but I think it's been quite frugal for a sports car! Probably 34mpg or thereabouts...
