Hi,

You're welcome to come fill up my V90 any time. £59 for a fill would be appreciated!! Last fill was about £67 - and that with a 5p off voucher!!

Do I care? Not really.

My last fill was £75 with a 5p off voucher. 130 miles later and I've got half a tank left. That's just the way it is with a turbocharged 2.3 litre mated to an auto box pushing a one and a half tonne brick along the road. ;-)

Last fillup £80-27, one before £78-70 and that's before the low fuel light comes on, and you think you've got problems.

I managed to get over £100 into my work Transit a couple of times when the fuel price was around £1.30 a couple of years ago.

320 miles cost 56 quid with 5p off in my turbo 945 = 27.7 mpg. I would hope/predict that I can get 450 miles from a full tank which is 75 litres. I think then the auto box is the killer as half a tank is 225 miles in mine (not 130!). I tend to drive at 65-75 down the A17/A16
