*sneaks back on so nobody notices*

Rzl - I'm in my final year now, which is worth 75%, and my 2nd year was worth 25%, I think they take the best few marks from then which were 2:1s (I think although there were a few 2:2s knocking about) and so far this year I have only had 3 essays back, one was a very high 2:1 (67%), the one today was a mid 2:1, and the other was a high 2:2 although it was a 2-part thing and that mark was only the first half iyswim. So I guess I'm on course for a 2:1 - that's my aim anyway! Still have 3 exams this semester, and then 1 essay and 1 exam plus my dissertation next semester though so could still go very wrong :eek:

Hi all.
Used the new car today. It is great, and probably saved me an hour overall because it can actually accelerae this millenium. I need some help though.
I am getting the premium petrol, to protect the engine. Is it worth it? Also, anyone got any other tips on reducing fuel useage to a minimum?

Higher octane fuel is only really useful in a high powered car (Its required because compression ration is different and reduces engine knock with the higher octane levels :rotfl: sorry if that sounds confusing cars are one of my 'things' yeah yeah I know unusual for a 28 year old female) in a regular car which doesn't need it, not worth it IMO. Have a look in the handbook taht came with the car, if it says use 95 RON then the cheaper fuel will do, no point using super unleaded/vpower etc

Evening everyone, just got back from swimming, shattered, legs hurt, will be in even more pain tomorrow as haven't been since the beginning of December kids enjoyed it so was worth it.
