$3 for a gallon of petrol.

$3.79 for regular here.... I pay $4.29+ for primo here in Elgin. Our dyke bitch of a governor is trying to add another 6 cents tax to that...

I just stick £20 or £30 worth of petrol in the Dacia, it has a small ish tank so that takes it up to 3 quarters (or thereabouts) full, + i get good mpg with it being a small 1200cc engine.

I expect the government will raise the price of petrol at the next budget.......Bastids.

Got a bit more done on the 4ft. privacy wall I'm building around our back porch today....sweat my arse off in the 95F weather. Tomorrow will be spent mowing the lawn & then loading the truck w/ all the camping things before we take off Sunday after church for the west side of Sumpter OR...plan on being back sometime Wednesday afternoon. Weather appears to be cooperating for this trip.

Is that cheap ?

it is to people from the UK, I paid the equivalent of $8.14 for a British  gallon of  E10 unleaded today.  Bearing in mind UK Gallons are a little bigger than US ones.

@Pedro have you been to Albufeira ?  is it nice for a chill out holiday

I pay £30 a month for my ( car) motoring, flat rate, however much I do. I do 20k + miles a year. 
 

Octopus do £30/ month charging for however much you do. I used to pour £100+ a week diesel into my last car, this is great.

That’s what I initially thought. But it’s 400+ hp 4wd , it’s brilliant fun … gets through tyres quick tho, but it’s cheap as chips to fuel

electric car drivers passing the time while waiting for their cars to charge

I have a US V8 engined fun car too in which I can pretty much see the gas tank needle move when I put my foot down. 
 

For getting from A to B everyday and doing so for £30 max a month instead of £400+ electric is great, I’m a convert.

…and I’m sleeping while it is charging …

My wife's Jazz is doing 65.4 mpg at the moment , mind you when I drive it I have to dress up like widow twanky incase anybody see me

Its still morally wrong and homosexual to drive around in what is technically a washing machine.

Don't forget to wear you're pinny and sort you're makeup out before you set off

Yes, I have. No, it’s not.

It’s the capital of british abroad, english breakfasts until 2pm, english curry, sportsbars, etc. That might be your thing but it’s not mine.

The beaches in that area are a little too small for my liking too, too cramped.

If you rent a nice villa away from the chaos with a swimming pool or by the sea I think it would nice, though.

It must be good value starting from now and onto October, though, so if it’s cheap …

I feel the same about watches, anything with a battery has no soul. But when I want to know what the time is it's the battery ones which are showing the right time.

Mandi gets that in her CHR in the summer. Down to low 50s in the winter but better on a run.
We're waiting to see what happens with synthetic fuel and hydrogen.

Weather forecast looks quite reasonable for next week, so we are off to (you guessed it ) Mablethorpe from Monday till Thursday.... and in a B&B!..... we will be living the high life. not living like Pikeys in a caravan.

Chap I know who is a car nut locally, Aston Martins and that sort of thing had a Tesla Plaid thing a couple of years back. He took a couple of us out in it to show off and TBH honest it was brutally quick, almost painfully so, all I remember about the ride was that it actually hurt being thrown around in the bloody thing.  I didn't like it, I think because more than anything you were just being thrown around as a passenger with none of the drama, noise and interaction of a ICE engined car.  Funnily enough he did not keep the Tesla for long, although he doesn't keep much for more than a couple of years but he has had some stunning cars.

I'm not sure the Jazz is the reason you are cross dressing.

If they sell Lambert&Butler fags as well then it's his ideal destination

Be interested to know how you get on with that. I toyed with the idea of getting one but as the shit weather is on the horizon it’s been put off till next spring.

I was given the oiler I just got to get the bits to install it together.   You get a filler spout when you buy the oil, but I will have to buy the dispenser for the sprocket as it was lost.
