Ouch. £1.42 a litre! Was that a regular petrol station or a motorway services?

I used to have an Audi A8 4.2 back when petrol was 135p a litre. Filling the 90 litre tank cost over £120, usually twice a month...

Miss the car, but not the trips to the petrol station!

Recently replaced a very frugal but boring diesel Skoda for a 3 litre Alfa GTV. I'm on 1st name terms with the guys at my local filling station.
OP, your Guzzi is sex on a stick, whatever the fuel costs, it's worth it!

Bought a tank of V-Power at Burtonwood services on the M62 on Friday night, £1.59 per litre...

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed you....

Here's a 'bin' shot;



Despite being old, heavy and low-powered is still able to keep up a good pace, plus soon to be MOT/tax exempt. thumbup

Put a tank of V-power in my ZX6R yesterday, cost a bit over £26, it’s only got an 18 litre tank and wasn’t completely empty
