Price today at my nearest Adsa (Larkhall) ... 123.7 for diesel.

Buy a blue car and you will get the saving! I thought blue cars were mandatory in Larkhall!

I was thinking of painting mine green and white and taking a drive through there.

Certainly looks like it's going in the right direction and I haven't seen any rises at my local Asda for couple of months.

117.9p at Sainsburys Watford, on A41.


Double Nectar points for fuel, 5% Cashback from Amex Cashback card. Perfect timing, as I just got the Amex. Happy happy.

Should we expect to see further falls in the price of fuel now that the cost of oil is at a 4 year low? Hell I may even go and get a V8

The absurd thing is, buying a V8 is not as crazy it sounds, as Mercedes engines shut down the cylinders in banks, so only some of the cylinders fire. So it could be even more efficient than a four cylinder Ford Focus.

Erm, that conveniently ignores the fact that even the best available four cylinder Escrote should cost less than £1000, whereas to access selective-shutdown technology, you'll be paying 40K plus for a top-end Merc.

You seem to have missed the point. Spending £40k will save someone 5mpg. Might even knock a few quid off the Tax.

Makes sense when you look at it that way :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Needs a cuckoo smiley...

You forgot about the tax write-downs as the £40k turd depreciates like a stallion with VD. Another moneysaving
