Morrisons have the best value loyalty scheme for fuel I think.

If you want a cheap sat nav try to get the "last model" TomTom ONE - always much cheaper than the newest which is normally nothing specially different anyway.

Erm, don't know if I should mention this, but you can go out and about without a sat nav you know.

In fact, in ancient times (yes, more than 10yrs ago) before sat navs populated the earth people used road atlases costing about a fiver.

if you want to get around cheaply then get a road map book, they are far better than sat navs and show you more direct routes that dont leave you going down a one way street the wrong way, they also help to keep you concentrating during long journeys as the route plays out in your mind.

lol, I thought this was going to be a "will using my sat-nav cost me more in petrol?" thread :rotfl:

Methinks you haven't used a satnav in along while.Mines never sent me down a one way street and it certainly takes the most direct route,the days of road maps are long gone.

I use Sat Nav and Maps.

What I hate about Sat Navs is when they try to send you on a busy long winded route because it's 0.2miles less than the straight easy direct route.

Had this not long ago, I was in the outskirts of Newcastle and instead of just sending me down 3 duel carriageways (A1058, A19, A189) to get home, it wanted to send me through Newcastle city centre at rush hour. Arrgh!
