    Well I have noticed the part that I walk is the most congested part of the route.

    I think Morrisons are watering down the petrol

    Really? I doubt it...
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    4 people on the ignore list....Bliss!
  • That is so funny. It is not the petrol being watered down it is your maths my friend.
    £15 petrol = approx 10 ltrs in my area at current prices of £1.46 ish or just over 2.26 gallons in old money, so assuming you drive 20 miles each way and walk the other 20 to save fuel - you will find that the car will go less distance as prices go up. Higher price means less for your cash paid.
    Far better to fill up by litres - I normally do 10 per week as I know 10 will cover me most of the time for the miles I do. It is not how much you should worry about, but the quantity these days. Car should still do approx same MPG as it did before providing it is serviced at least once a year. And the main reason I do 10 is that it is easy to check that pumps are giving out correct amount as it is a matter of moving decimal point one step over to right. Oh and another thing, it is often much cheaper to go to the local garage and pay a penny or two more than drive 10 miles to save that 2p as you will use more fuel to get the 2p saving than if you'd filled up nearer!

    ok - well thankfully my local Sainsburys is the best value again & so I will check levels regularly & ensure the `red light' doesn't come on - which is what I normally do but the hospital appointment distracted my attention! Ideally on my way home from work or somewhere - it is less than a mile away.

    Not sure what others holier than thou would do in my position: I googled commute & it's actually 6 miles - so am driving four & walking 2. The train route is not reliable & expensive, the bus journey much longer in terms of travel time.
    Anyways am grateful for constructive comments.

    What a comical post:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    You got the maths wrong, the difference given identical platforms and using different fuels would be + or - 5% at best,

    Have you fallen out with the store before you posted this?????:A
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Is this an April Fool's joke?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
  • Can you please tell us was it morrisons own fuel they were selling at the pumps or someone else's like Total , Texaco etc.
    Impossible or even stupid for fuel companies the names I mentioned and others risk tampering @ the pumps or their oil.

    Last time i was in the Rose & Crown i thought they were doing that with their whiskey.
