Filled up yesterday at Tesco 135.9p per litre. A few weeks ago it was about 10p more than that.
Is it because in spring / summer theres less demand for fuel? (As it is *meant* to be warmer...) Or is it because the whole Iran thing was quietly settled without sabre rattling?
Mind with the ZX I used to get about 150 miles to the tenner. But then it didn't have a turbo and fuel was about 80p a litre.
Good fuel economy

Re: Good fuel economy
Nowadays the red diesel costs more than road diesel did a few years ago, keeping our renault tractors running say to rotavate or plough a field, or spread the mushroom compost costs £17 an hour, and there is two of them running on the farm, more so if it is spreading compost when they have to rev higher to spin the PTO that drives the blades.sirwiggum wrote:Filled up yesterday at Tesco 135.9p per litre.

I am working at a thing in excel to give me an MPG figure based on each trip, and also a way to calculate how much a journey will cost based on the distance and the expected MPG

Re: Good fuel economy
Thanks the constant technique worked, how can you show an excel sheet on here?
I had to run down to dublin to get some stuff for the mushroom houses, the MPG figure the trip computer wasn't too bad:
53.4 its the highest I've ever got the average thing to go
, and although the speed says 40 the car was doing 60 on the motorway.
