Re: Fuel prices
22 quid from the fuel light for me. First time ever over 20 quid on a bike, just a couple of years ago it would have been 12/13 quid max.

Re: Fuel prices
It cost me over £20 to fill the XR, its only a 15L tank and wasn't bone dry, £96 to fill the Citroen from 1/4.
The prices had come down a bit but they're on the way back up again... I keep browsing Electric car lease deals, but it's still cheaper to run my old diesel for now.

Re: Fuel prices
I'd go electric tomorrow and I'm just about to buy a new car. The problem is I can't afford one with the range I need and the charging network isn't reliable enough yet.

charging network is fine you just need to plan journeys, more and more companies are bringing out charge stations at lower pricesMonty wrote:I'd go electric tomorrow and I'm just about to buy a new car.

Re: Fuel prices
The Multi cost me nearly £30 to fill the other day.
In better news my Toyota CHR self charge hybrid is averaging 60mpg.

Re: Fuel prices
It's definitely getting better, I've got a plug-in hybrid and quite often can't get chargers to work. Plus if it's not a Tesla there's still a ridiculous amount of different cards, accounts and apps you need. It's very nearly there.Perkles wrote:charging network is fine you just need to plan journeys, more and more companies are bringing out charge stations at lower pricesMonty wrote:I'd go electric tomorrow and I'm just about to buy a new car.

Work takes me all over the country, but if I can get to Glasgow/London and halfway back on a single charge, around 350 to 400 miles it will be a no brainer for me.

It's going to be £2 soon
It was €2.10 for 95 in Portugal, diesel was cheaper at about €1.85.

Re: Fuel prices
I looked back on faceache, 3 months ago I was shocked by £1.80/L at the motorway services and this morning I paid that at the local Tesco, that services is 1.99.9 for diesel, 1.97.9 for unleaded...

Re: Fuel prices
£27 to fill up the Kawasaki.
I remember laughing about paying that much to fill up the ATAS.
I'm guessing that would be well over the £40 mark now

I don't want to know what my work vehicles cost to run, 12.8 litre turbo diesel averaging 10mpgPerkles wrote: 180 to fill my lorry up yesterday

I know the 60 litre diesel tank on my car gets filled at 1/2 now because I just don't want to hand over £100 at the petrol station..
