Car tax question
I am due to pick up a new Car (new to me, it isn't brand new) in the next week and because its coming from a Car supermarket it is not coming with any tax.

Are forecourts mis-advertising pertrol/diesel?
Has anyone noticed how forecourts advertise pertrol/deisel as .9p, and never round up/down? If I were to buy say 4 litres of deisel at advertised price of 110.9p per litre, where is my .4p change? How are they allowed to do this if decimals of a penny are not 'legal tender'?

Why is taking the bus more expensive than driving the car?
I've always found this puzzling, especially since I want to take the bus more regularly to reduce my emissions. It costs me £4.50 return for a ~10 mile journey into the city (Zone 5 - Zone 1) but only £3-£3.50 using the car (based on a worse-ish case scenario of 115p/litre petrol and 30mpg). I hope no one labels me stupid…

Does anyone know any special offers anywhere?

I saw it in Asda today, 2 litres of Castrol for £7.97 or Asda's own brand oil in…
