    You're absolutely right - it was in the Bible somewhere ;)

    I've stopped buying my petrol in £'s at the pump and started buying it in litres. Sound strange? Heres what I mean.
    The last time I looked the petrol station had a fixed price per litre, so any attempt to only buy in litres would end up forcing you to buy in pounds at the same time.

    I'll let you into a little known trade secret: any petrol you don't use one week can be stored in the tank and used the next week.
    Happy chappy

    For anyone else out there, I've developed an unbeatable system (not patented yet) that will make a tank of fuel last indefinitely -- but its not an idea that I would pitch into the Dragons Den with ;)

  • I've heard from someone that if you hop lots of times whilst your filling your petrol tank that you can get quite a lot of extra free fuel each time. Its all to do with the time vortex paragon and by continuously hopping, you send out an electrical impulse which confuses the dwarf that lives inside of each petrol pump and hands pumps the fuel for you. Thats why there is always a delay when you take the nozzle out of the holder - the dwarf has to wake up and get ready by the internal pump.

    Does he run in a hamster wheel to pump the fuel out?

    I've had to wait a long time for some pumps to start... do you think it's a girl dwarf and she needs to touch up her lippy?

    I've heard that if you have a flux capacitor in your car (especially if it's a DeLorean) you can go back to the '50's and get really cheap fuel!!

    I thought the DeLorean with the flux capacitor used nuclear fuel?
    Where are you buying that cheap?:D
