Smart cars?

[homeward]

Fuel prices seem to vary a lot depending where in the country(UK) you live.

I found fuel prices in Scotland cheaper than here in the midlands ..

Agreed! And around here -- Stratford-upon-Avon... -- there seems to be some sort of tourist 'surcharge' in operation....

... One full tank did 193 miles and cost less than £25.


Now we will see how much it does when we are being careful.

Just consider it 13p per mile

What’s going on with fuel prices?

I’m on ASDA diesel (supplied hereabouts by Total out of Lindsey Oil Refinery) - & argued to be a set national price … unless that policy has changed(?) I paid 139.7 on Sat. Early July it was 131.7 – the year high was 143.7 in April.

Average petrol price is £1.35 a litre.

My maths are about as good as my English(crap), I get 53mpg. My Multiwagon acheives that on a regular basis, would have expected better from a Smart to be honest .. :shrug:

DERV vs Petrol though

LOL i could just see Damian driving a pink smart. I found the insurance to be very expensive when i was looking at one for a daily drive.

Sainsburys are doing 10p a litre off when you spend £60

 

[pooroldcodger]

Oh yes I also bought the premium unleaded stuff thats more expensive but I never check prices I just buy what I need or what I can afford. So whatever £20 buys me...

Half a bottle of Redex in a full tank too! My son took it to get the wheels aligned. He asked them if they could do four wheels for the price of two seeing as they are so small but they didnt agree lol.

I tend to do this when I get a new (to me) car. Then the novelty wears off.........Petunia the Stilo is doing well BTW, her new owner loves her

 

[AndyRKett]

Does that work out to about 53mpg or do I need maths lessons?

I made it 59mpg, did you used us or imperial gallon?

 

[Modette]

Imperial. All I know is that it did WAY better than my Stilo would have so Im happy and so is my son who is now driving it to work - so Im still left driving a Stilo, his. LOL
