I can't believe I did this! :eek: I was running on empty and went into a different petrol station to fill up. Noticed prices were higher than my local garage so only put £20 in. I then drove 500 yards to the shops and went in shopping. When I came out my car wasn't keen to start. Checked my fuel reciept and saw I'd put…
