Never mind the 1970's oil crisis the one now is nasty. I have a 30 mile round commute every day and have started using the '44 to do it in as I can do it on 15 quid of fuel instead of 60 quid of fuel in the big Volvo (worse in our v6 ford)
makes a difference on the pocket!!

$3.80 per US gal? And you're upset at that? We're on about £4.20 per USG - roughly $8.25 - and something like $5.30 of that is tax!  We agreed a price for taking Sian's teenager to university back around christmas cos she doesn't like trains - worked it out on cost of fuel at £35 (she pays one way, we pay the other). We're collecting her in a couple of weeks and it'll be closer to £47 as prices are now. That's one hell of an inflation rate for 6 months! |

Just topped up, and it's up another 6p / litre (about 40c / gal to you, John) since Sat morning!!!!

hi all.
petrol prices are getting really silly now. I am glad i have got the daf as it is so cheap to run.
I seem to be getting just under 40mpg from my 44 (round town and on a run) which i am quite happy with.
Does anyone know what the book figures were?? It would give me something to compare with and see if there is room for improvement.
thanks

Well, if you WILL insist on buying these big extravagant 850cc models....  |
