Just filled up on Washington services and if I was paying cash it’d be £1.55 a litre.... The way fuels going up we’ll be selling bodily organs to buy a gallon of fuel.
So, back to the original subject... A tenners worth of fuel won’t buy you much now and neither will £20 :(

I fill all of mine up every time. Ours are used regularly for motorway work so makes a sense.

The only time I would consider putting in less is, if I did so little miles that I would not use a full tank in a month or if the car is used so little that I do not want the fuel to go stale and be left in the tank for more than 6-8 weeks.

It’s ridiculous, blame the fall in the pound

£50.00 gets me 2/3rds of a tank now and about 300 miles. (ouch)

Don't normally use Tesco, but last night I had to. It was late to used pay at the pump and the limit was £99. That would not have filled it right up.

Pfffff I wish I had that, in my 940 I put £40 a week in and it gets me about 170-180 miles.

However on a decent motorway run £40 got me 250 miles on the dot.

We can all moan as much as we like but if you are smitten with your Volvo you just put up with it....it's what we do isn't it?

Fill to the brim every time.
Usually do the LPG at same time coz I use all the LPG, then let it use all the petrol then fill both.
These V8's are thirsty things 😅
