The budget-bleeding me dry!

[stealthwolf]

I checked my spreadsheet and Hedge is right. V-power went up from 139 to 145 over the past six months.

I paid 149-something last week, before The Budget, not that I usually take much notice of the exact price. I don't/won't run my beloved car on anything other than V-Power and I don't have time to work, so I don't commute.

Just don't look at the cost, and then do a 0-60 run as soon as you leave the garage to validate the expenditure 

....That's the spirit!

£1.48p/l at my nearest Shell. 

Thank fook when i move there is a Tesco with momentum 99 about 1/2 a mile from where ill be working.

143p for Tesco 99 when I filled up on Sunday!

I just got a letter saying that my company discount on fuel will cease on the 30th April because they've sold the fuel card business.  I used to get 7p / Litre off of TOTAL Excillium Diesel.  Looks like I'll be going back to Shell then.

These budgets tickle me, the things that rob you of money such as fags, fuel etc going up can happen at midnight on the day of the announcement.  Get anything back from the robbing cnuts and it takes effect from next April!!

Is the Tesco stuff as good, gets a little cheaper when they do their 5p-10p off litre with shopping.

Some cars like it, some don't

I ran mine over Xmas on Tesco 99 and didn't notice any difference to be honest. It was 5ppl cheaper than V-Power anyway and as you say when they start doing the 5 or 10ppl off promotions it can work out quite nicely

I have ran my car on both VPower and Tesco Momentum.  I can tell no difference in real world driving, or ignition timing.  If anything i think the tescos fuel runs better on tickover when cold.  The VPower seems a little lumpy.  Plus its about 4p per litre cheaper to start with, then when the 5p or 10P discounts are on it works out around 15p a litre cheaper than shell.

Cheers fellas. Will think about Tesco 99, was under the assumption that it was Shell V-Power or.........well ,Shell V-Power!

Do you fancy editing your original post, seeing as it was factually incorrect?

Time to get a diesel?

[stealthwolf]

Nah. It could go up to £2 and I'd still drive the GTI!
