had half a tank left but due back at work on Monday and I drive roughly 80 to 100 miles each day so the need to fill up is a must for me.

No diesel left, just unleaded which is what I needed.

Tank was already half full, put £20 in and it still didn't fill it..................1200cc Toyota Auris ...........

I bought my car a year ago in July and filled it up the day I got it from empty........cost me £30 it's a 1.8 engine.

Thought I'd be going on a long journey and the fuel is a tad cheaper here.......whacked £40 in and it's still only showing three quarters.!!!! xx

The 11p a mile I get is set by the goverment - it is so we can get it paid straight into our accounts and not be taxed on it.................somehow I can't see us getting anymore
