Car park been taken off us at work so this is cheaper and gets me to work quicker

Its annoying that Mrs Skips Astra Eco4 cage can do 200 miles on about £20 but its about as interesting as falling asleep to drive...

Its enjoyable knowing that you aren't spending too much getting to your destination but as far as the pleasure of actually driving it... ZZZzzz

is it just me or has anyone else noticed, petrol stations seem to increase petrol prices by 1p per litre every time you drive past its now getting to the point where people are getting forced off the road.

i think about journeys before i make them to try and save £££ unless its Darley, Mallory or Oulton lol
