That's $6.52 per US gallon at today's exchange rates.
Not that I care much since I don't have a car anymore.
Yep. It is averaging a quid a litre now.
I fill a Discovery tank with 20 gallons of diesel about once every four
days. Twice a week if busy. With the amount of shit it chucks out the
back, I grow more concerned for the harm I'm doing to the environment.
Fortunately I have a company-supplied fuel card, so it's doing no harm
to my wallet.
Our family car, a 12 year old Rangey with a 2.5 litre diesel engine
fills the same BUT that travels far less and so we fill it once every 2
or 3 weeks. It may be more polluting than a small car, but it is
recycling parts used previously on other vehicles to keep it going, and
as such contributes less to our 'throw away' society. No plans to change
it anytime soon. 100,000 miles and going !
100,000 miles, PIKER! Try 280,000 miles...
Oops, rant over ;-)
Cheers,
Cotty
