    Same as me too!!!,

    I thought i would never part with mine, ever!, but high insurance re-newal, speeding points, and a fair distance to work and back (although a good drive!), but costly in fuel, has forced me to do the same.

    she`ll be gone tommorro,and i hope and prey that its not a monumental mistake, that i`ll regret till i die!!!

    Getting p****d off just thinkin about it now!

    F*****g **** rip off britain!, it comes to summat dunnit, when you cant even afford to run your car, cos you weekly petrol bill, is almost as much as your weekly shoppin at asda!!!
    off to bed now,

    Over and out!

    Thats strange as i could avarage around 35/38 on a good run mostly motorways and stuff,ive now got a 19t remap and again can avarage around 33/35 on a run.
    My combined is sitting on 26 at the moment and thats with mostly short distance and town driving.

    Dont get me wrong we get decent money with the child tax and working tax topping things up but when your running to the petrol station every 2 days cause you've only got a £10 in your pocket every time you go it gets soul destroying.

    I'll muddle through like i always do, chin up, grin and bear it

    On the bright side, it looks like petrol's coming down

    Asda dropped it 2p today and the local Shell have followed.
    Thats going to be tough for a bit then, but should be worth it in the end. Hope it all works out.
