    well, a year and a bit on, i took the car for its service at a vauxhall dealership the other month, surprised at the rip off it was! they charged £190 for a change of oil and filters! (labour and "other" was about £100 in total).

    anyway, i've done 12k in it up to now, and the average is 50mpg. a bit disappointing, considering i've found the parkers guide to state it does 70mpg. i know after everything that has been said in this thread that it will be less, but 20mpg less?

    the fuel argument someone made: i don't believe in it. Fuel is fuel, it is made to specification, and i won't go out of my way to pay for more expensive fuel, i will go for whatever is most convenient and cheapest on my route.
