Plus I have a grin on my face all the time I am driving the Honda - in your Corsa you are just waiting for the journey to end - I quite often wish my journeys were longer

Oh and I have an SV1000 don't forget
Shush you

not allowed due to someone having bad blowback on filling up ended up in hospital with burns and vauxhall dropping support for gas so no spares but from what i've heard these vans have been running on petrol for most of their exsistance so 7/8 years at 25-30% less fuel efficency on an average of 15k miles and about 10-15 vans. And these vans are more unreliable than the pile of w*nk combo 1.2 diesels.

Don't start me on Vauxhall combo's the biggest pile of ****e walking gods green earth today.

How? Filling up with gas is just as easy as filling up with petrol so you'd have to be a numpty and likely to hurt yourself at some point anyway. That's not the fault of the gas. And as you don't hold the gas nozzle like you do with petrol how did they burn themself???

2003 1.9 VW Polo SDI (Diesel)

£50 to fill her up (well was £48.90 yesterday with a tesco 5p a litre saving voucher)

I normally get between 580-600 miles on this, mostly around town (my drive to work is 8 miles each way through town - but I do miss rush hour normally.)

Brilliant car for economy. At 70 it gets destroyed, but sitting at 56-60 keeps the mpg sweet.

Jesus dave. That's pretty impressive!

Just filled up today. Had about 35 miles left according to the car, done 452 miles from last fill, and cost £64.xx to brim again.
