The cheapest I have found is the one in Bishopbriggs on the Kirkie Rd, before the retail park.

they're all pretty much the same i think - 79.9p is the cheapest i've had lately...

got the car on friday - filled it up on saturday - have done around 110 miles with lots of vtec-ing and have just over half a tank!

used to get around 220/230 miles to a tank from the - should the S return around the same when my driving settles down a wee bit? ("if" i should say )

by teh way - top marks to hyndland honda today - did a top notch job of taking my alpine mp3 headunit + changer from my ctr and sticking them into the S - even fitted the wee alpine add-on that lets me use the dash controls!

i'll take some pics and post them up if anyone wants a look-see?

my rear-demister on the hard-top doesn't seem to be working though - hope they haven't mixed up the wiring - only noticed it tonight and it wastoo dark to see if the doo-dah was properly connected - will check it tomorrow...

The car has been run in hasn't it? Remember no vtec before 600 miles.

Try this web site to find the cheapest near you

Ok you'll get some other companys filling stations thrown in for good measure, but it will show the cheapest shell garage on your patch.

hi,

yeah my car is a used one - had 3900 miles on it when i picked it up last friday!

apparently a woman bought it new last june but couldn't afford to keep up teh re-payments so traded it back in to hyndland for something a lot cheaper...

i got my ctr brand new just under two years ago and even in the first 600 miles i did vtec it quite a few times - these engines can take it - kid gloves are not required all of the time i reckon - get the foot down!

with my ctr i found that it really came alive after 10,000 miles or so - anyone know if this is teh case with the S as well - basically i think the more miles you put on these engines the more responsive they become...
