i'd say 100-120 in my scudo. seems less every day.

it's hardly worth putting putting £20 in nowadays!

I agree, IMO, what realy counts is, like you say, miles per money. ;)

About 100 miles in my Trafic 1.9 .
Might be about 90 next week.
Give it a few months and you'll be asking how many pounds per mile.

Every news broadcast I've heard or seen today, and lets be honest there are far too many of them, has had this Welsh member of the public saying how ridiculous the rising cost of fuel is getting...
He says its going up a penny a litre every week!
A penny a litre!
A penny a litre?
Thats about 70p increase every time I fill my van.
Maybe if I don't eat an extra mars bar this week I'll pay for the increase and with my weight loss I'll do more miles per litre!

What are we being told?

I got 270 miles on £50 in my transporter this week so 104 miles for £20. (half way into the red!)  Next week it will be less as the price seems to rise almost daily. At our local morrisons they have got a new sign advertising TODAYS fuel prices!

In the year 2000 diesel was 77p a litre. By the end of this year it is forcast it will reach £1.50 which means it will have doubled in eight years.
Title: Re: how many miles for £20 in Diesel
Post by: Moderator David@stives on June 07, 2008, 11:35:02 am
My prices have also doubled in 8 yearss, even trebled or quadrupled in some cases.

When i started 10 years ago it used to take me from 7.00 am until 5.30 to take £100,

Working them same hours would now give me at least £300
Title: Re: how many miles for £20 in Diesel
Post by: Paul Coleman on June 07, 2008, 06:17:44 pm
My most recent fill up cost me £95.  If I had run it down for another day it would have hit that magic £100.
