£57 to fill up?

No wonder I never bloody fill it up usually - at least putting it in bit by bit feels less like you're getting bottom-raped :x :evil:

Thats bad.

I'm really tempted to save for an LPG conversion once my mondeo gets paid off - will cut bills in half.

Isn't fuel due to go up again in 6 months or so?

LPG a cheap fuel option but heard a lot of bad press about how crap cars run on it a lot are running it 50/50 with petrol not sure whether its a particular system or not but its a lot of cash to pay out if its not particularly good

I normally only stick about £7 in - that'll get me about 40 miles... :?

Sometimes I have the light on for so long that I get used to it and almost forget to put some in before I run out! lol

My uncles looking into Hydrogen power, yes its awkward to run a car off pure hydrogen, but you can mix it in with the air/fuel and gain up to 40% in fuel economy... so im told!
