£2.08 unleaded into a scooter £1.305 per ltr
Discussion
Filled up my car today and while there this Chav (just wearing shorts and a helmet) pulled up filled up to £2.08 I know this as it was so short I glanced over.
Now how far can a scooter go with £2.08 worth of fuel?
Why would you waste your time putting such a trivial amount in?
Also it didn't appear to be en route as he went back the way he came so possibly a trip just to put in £2.08.
He also didn't buy anything from the shop so simply the £2.08.
I dd think it was min 2ltr delivery as well
Lastly the pump wasn't dry as next punter put in unleaded from that pump into the car.
So can anyone explain this is it usual to chavs

No, we all turn 16, leave school and immediately start earning £40k a year and drive diesel BMW's......A decent Honda Vision 50 will crack 140+ mpg..... you don't need much fuel to get home when your doing 4-5 times the MPG of most cars!

That bike must have cost him what £2k plus yet he cannot afford the fuel to run the thing?? Madness. A decent Honda Vision 50 will crack 140+ mpg..... you don't need much fuel to get home when your doing 4-5 times the MPG of most cars!
Edit to delete a rather foolish irrelevant statement.

Sorry to be pedantic but £40k is hardly a lot of money for a salary. A decent Honda Vision 50 will crack 140+ mpg..... you don't need much fuel to get home when your doing 4-5 times the MPG of most cars!

You might be speaking for yourself but that's a bit of a silly comment considering what the average salary in this country is. And it's a relatively massive salary out of school/college/Uni, I would wager that the majority of 16 year old lads riding scooters earn nowhere near that!!Prof Beard said:
Indeed, in 2011, the median salary in the UK was just over £26k
If I was on £40k, life would be sweet. It isn't a lot if you don't live within your means I guess. Too many kids, a £400k house and too many holidays for example, but to say it isn't a bloody good salary is odd.Welshbeef said:

It's nearly double the UK average.That bike must have cost him what £2k plus yet he cannot afford the fuel to run the thing?? Madness.
Perhaps it's close to his pay day. Perhaps the lad is working hard to earn the minimum wage. Perhaps he needed enough to get him to his shift to knock up your foie gras pizza?
Presumably the bike was taxed and insured and he paid for his fuel so good on him.
I dread to think what people say about me when all I've got in my pocket is a fiver and I need a bit of diesel :hangs head in shame:
I used to fill up a fiver at a time when I first started driving. (admittably petrol was 44.9p / litre), but that sorted me for the week.
I imagine £2, would see the scooterist about 50 miles - so could easily cover his weekly commute. (can't be arsed working out exactly how many miles it would actually cover. This thrifty-ness allows him to go drinking each weekend!!

Clearly looking for a reaction. I can't bring myself to believe anyone earning over 40k would be daft enough to say something like that, which for what it's worth is an absolutely ridiculous statement, not accounting for inflation, I would be more than happy if 40k was the highest wage I earn in my life.
