Hot Water over Cold Water

Vauxhall get knuckles wrapped for getting the price of water wrong

---

The Advertising Standards Authority has upheld a complaint against Vauxhall in relation to its DualFuel cars.

The advert claimed that LPG cars ran on fuel that cost 37p a litre and compared that cost to water from a water cooler which they believed to be 56p a litre.

Zenith International - water cooler people - objected to the advert claiming that the average cost of water cooler water was in fact 36.57p a litre.

They should have compared it with water from a petrol station.

The other day I paid 80.9/litre for Optimax which I thought was a lot. 1.5 litres Volvic cost me 1.49 from the same place.

At Toddington you can buy a litre of unleaded or diesel for less than 80p, 0.75 litres Vittel costs 1.49!!!!!
