anyone else feel smug while refuelling???
I cant help but feel really really smug when i am refuelling my c70 T5.
OK its a bit of a fiddle to put the nozzle on as mine is located on a box section hinged bracket that tucks into the bumper, but once on it is smugness all the way. just wondered if anyone else gets the smug feeling too?

Any smug feeling I have goes away somewhat when filling up an 80 litre tank with V-Power. The numbers flashing by are just too big for comfort.....

Nope, cant say as I do really.
The Volvo only takes petrol but, the Trans Am is dual fuel and to be honest, is almost always run on petrol anyway.. |

I get all excited burning Vpower, the quicker the better for me. It could be worse, it could be £5 a litre.

Refuelling with LPG... FatLadz? I know what you mean. I'm always bemused at how many people have closed minds - are prejudiced, indeed - against LPG. Still, it's their loss...

Filling with LPG does not make me fell smug normaly as it is still expensive but way cheaper than dirty petrol.
I do fell very smug when some wally is filling with V power next to me and you can them smoke them down the road. LPG is higher octane than V power and gives better perfomance in many turbo cars. Personaly I know I could never run a car on petrol or diesel again - just to darn expensive. |

yes i know what you mean about the extra power
i somehow feel that my tuned calibra turbo 4x4 isnt going to get any fuel put in it for a long long time. i usually run the calibra turbo on V Power and a bottle and a half of millers octane boost to the tankfull. Sod that when i can pay 46per litre in my T5

A friend of mine must feel extremely smug, he's running his diesel Landrover on heating oil at 30p a litre (but maybe lpg is cheaper than that?)
