The cost of fuel is set to raise by at least 10 p a litre shortly.
Greedy bastards!

In France at present just paid £1.16 a litre of diesel, and never Pay parking, have not seen a toll so far,and the roads are very good , the question is , where does all the money go?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!The cost of fuel is set to raise by at least 10 p a litre shortly.

I can remember (it's not that long ago) when 30mpg was normal for a car, so although fuel costs way more now, I suspect my overall fuel cost is no more than it was 20 or so years ago.
Fixing the road surfaces obviously!
For reasons too complicated to explain I've been driving a new small hatchback with a 1.2 litre diesel engine for the last few weeks and I'm averaging 60 mpg+ without conciously trying. It's the first time I've driven one of the new breed of super-economy cars and I have to say I'm impressed. It's never going to break any speed records, but It will very easily keep up with traffic in an urban environment and cruise at 70mph in reasonable comfort.

Just a thought.
A case in point:
2003 Zafira fuel pump: £850 for refurbished unit with me fitting myself..
