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 TT

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.

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.

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 😅
