£88+vat. Avis refueling charge
Just received my husbands bill from Avis and they've charged £88.15+ vat for re-fueling. He doesn't do small print unfortunately, causes all kinds of problems... But is £88 reasonable? Total cost for 3 day uk hire of a vauxhall was £249.43. Is there anyway of getting them to reduce this, has anyone tried?

Virgin Trains - Ripoff
A few weeks ago I had to travel to London to Birmingham at short notice. I was charged around £80 for this as obviously it was not an advance purchase.
