Cost of fuel

[wadsapple]

I was totting up what i spent on race fuel last year and on diesel getting there, i was shocked and won't be adding that up again. V power = £2,604.70 and diesel = £2,627.79 an eye watering £5,231.49

It's a friggin dear doo int it Perry lad You used a lot of petrol seeing as you only did about 6 laps all through the season is it a tax fiddle?

[tbdgriff500]

don't think about it, and NEVER tell the wife!!

[wadsapple]

Debbie thinks i have had a fuel leak all season or she can't work a calculator

[NTEL]

Ahhhh Debbie, yes..... It must have been Debbie who used all the petrol doing those hot laps around Castle Combe She was so much faster than you.....just shows you how thirsty these thing are when they are driven properly

I deal with racing fuel costs by using a technique known as Denial.

motor sport rules

1) never add up the cost
2) never refer to the cost in £ only motorsport unit
3) 1 motorsport unit = 1000

Reckon I won;t spend as much on fuel as Perry tho!

I will probably spend my total fuel allowance for 2013 just getting to Anglesey from Exeter,year before last it took 7 & half hours in the lorry to get to the circuit, but what a weekend it was, two fourth places against kawacosts and locosuki's in front.To be fair they were about 3 or 4 sec's a lap quicker.All circuits are miles away if you live in Sunny Devon.Roll on March can't wait.

I never look at the costs if I can help it... I never hide stuff from Em either though, she aint bothered as long as we can afford it! Clearly I picked well hehe...

Tim, have you still got your 2012 heads mate? Or has je took them back off you?

I see nobody has dared to factor in the cost of beer

Beer is about £24.00 per Gallon.....Makes petrol look dirt cheap!

Gutted i read this as i've always avoided adding fuel costs up what with my V8 fetish!
Anglesey can't be worse than the Ring and Spa can it?

hi Dave, the deal is on an exchange basis, although he still has the engine at the moment so nothing is set in stone.

Thanks Tim. If you do find out you can sell them let me know what you want for them! Only need the heads and cam etc to make a full engine now and tour heads should still be as new?

Anglesey is only 2 hours for me! Beats the 7 hours to Brands Hatch!!!!! Weather is usually pretty stty. Not much on offer in the local area except the local leisure centre. Well, when I say leisure centre, its actually 6 sheep tied to a lamp post but the locals call it a leisure centre
