I'm not overly bothered as Suzy is now retiring for winter and Dave is back on the road.

Last week I rode aprox 220 miles down the A1 and I put in less than 15 quids. Didn't even get the light to come on before filling. Gosh that bike lives off fumes

Great stuff.

Here's me just started looking at high compression pistons, porting cylinder heads out, flatslide carbs... But no! Better get the "big bumper book of IAM grandad riding" out again to try and get fuel use to somewhere above 100 miles to tank again!

100 miles to a tank and add a load more for me

If you have as many cars, vans, landrovers and bikes as us it all adds up.
Just been and filled up everything! Twas fun, btw Tesco and some of the other garages were MUCH more expensive anyway. Keep an eye out for some of the local ones which are always cheaper.

Petrol is always a rip off. In the last 4 weeks has gone up from 99.9 to 103.9 so after tax rise its gonna be 105.9. What happened to us as fuel was reaching the magic£1 a litre mark it was all this is ridic and fuel protests vow we will prob be approacing 110 and not a peep from anyone. Is it really any suprise that we get shafted in this country when we are so relaxed about it. We just bend over and ask for more.
