heckler Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 How the americans can moan about the price of fuel is beyond me, but hey they have a sense of humor.... http://www.boners.com/content/792267.1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I just came back from USA the other week and I just got my credit card bill. Average price to fill the tank = £14. Did about 5000 miles for £250. Cannot be bothered to work out the maths but that is well cheap without even applied too much brain power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 My two local Shell stations have stopped selling Optimax in the last couple of weeks. Has anyone noticed this in the UK??? Rather worrying, it's one thing to be charged a forture but to stop selling 98RON fuel is a kick in the b*llocks too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local Esso has stopped selling Super Unleaded, the nearest place I can get decent petrol is a 50 minute round trip away Its a good excuse to give my car a run I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm not surprised they feel that way, its gone up about 110% in the last 5 years. Ours has gone up about by about 15% and that's bad enough. It all depends on what your used too, but imagine if the Uk fuel prices had gone up that much! I make that roughly £1.57 a litre:Pling: Don't know why the garages are stopping selling optimax though perhaps they don't want the bad publicity of having fuel that costs over a £1 a litre?

I know they have it in Germany and Austria so, would have thought it to be around most NW Euro countries. However, in the US V-Power is only 90-93 octane so, in Nederland they might water it down to 95 octane ??? I see that last year they brought out V-Power deisel, how many Joe average punter is going to see V-Power and put either fuel in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad500 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 As a US resident (former UK), i cant see why they moan about fuel either, a good supra is 25k sterling though, so we moan about that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
