Petrol Price

In UKP that equals only 59p per litre.

In the UK we are paying 90 or more per litre, so stop bloody whingeing.

Thus spake CeeTee unto the assembled multitudes:

Think yourself lucky. In the UK it's about 90p a ltr, which works out at NZ$2.33 a ltr at today's exchange rate. I thought it was only us Poms who were supposed to be whingeing :-)

Not until we run out of oil.

Get a more economical car, and then it won't be a problem. Petrol costs a lot more over here, but I'm not complaining!

I run an economical car. I still spend £45 a week on 400 miles worth of petrol.

How will one individual getting a more economical car reduce the price of petrol?

I run a petrol Peugeot 406 - and do around 750 miles a week.

Yes, I'm considering one of those Renault Megane 1.5dci hatchbacks!

Paid 99.9p per litre for BP Ultimate last week. Far too much.

Heh.... 320 miles on 45 quid here.

I've had to tame my driving style as I was getting that down to 280 miles at one point.

It's now costing me more in petrol than I get in expenses.

My last car got 270 miles for 53 quid Present one does 500 miles for 40 quid

same driving style - just the change from large petrol to small diseasel. :-)

Stuart.

Not sure about the swap from large petrol to small diesel - have been considering large petrol to large diesel, though.

To be fair, all Alfa JTDs I've tried have been great. The older 8v models felt more diesel-like with a broader spread of power. The 16v version felt quicker but you had to work at it...

Of course, you might not be thinking about JTD...?

Actually thinking Fiat Marea 2.4TD or JTD.

The JTD is essentially a 156 at half price.

Wages in NZ are generally 2/3rds of UK level so 59p/litre (NZ) would equate to 90p/litre (UK).

It'll end when we run out of fossil fuels then it will be nailed clubs

Hell you want to live in the UK!! almost £5 a gallon, you've got it good down under!
