I see they're rolling out e10 fuel as of today, instead of e5.
According to some, economy isnt as good on it as e5.
Will have to see how it performs i guess.0 -

I’d say a lot of people are in a position where their lives have been constructed around an expectation of affordable transport, living far from employment.
We were talking about this last night - when I was at school in Portadown, all the teachers lived “in this parish” apart from one who commuted from somewhere near Moira, around 10 miles away. That was considered extreme back then. Judging by the motorway nowadays, commuting from Dungannon to Belfast seems to be common. Expensive.“What means that trump?” Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare0 -

A more efficient car or car sharing might be the answer for them to help further offset costs.
For my first job "back in the day" i used to commute Waringstown -> Antrim daily and we car pooled, meeting near the lurgan roundabout or the moira roundabout. I think there was maybe 9 of us coming from Armagh, Portadown, Lurgan area, Moira in 2 or sometimes 3 cars.
I also commuted from Tandragee to Newtownabbey daily for a couple of years. I'd a car that did 60mpg+ for that, but was still a horrible commute.0
