Have you seen the price of fuel?

In an attempt to save some money I thought I'd follow the advice I overheard in my local Butchers - "it works out far cheaper if you get a whole lamb and we cut it up for you"

So being ever so environmentally aware I though Think Global, Steal Local so I promptly borrowed a neighbours brand new 4x4 and headed for the hills in search of a lamb.
It was only when I asked my acomplice if I should run it down sideways or head on that it was explained to me that the idea was to pay for a lamb to be reared by the farmer NOT to simply rob it.

Returning empty handed I thought the least I could do was top up the fuel tank

£70 to fill a New Freelander

Fuel Prices are Sky High! Even using the petrol price comparison sites the cost of driving extra miles tosave a few pennies a gallon doesn't add up and the perceived fuel economy is only relevant in "heavy urban conditions" - put that in your tail pipe Mr Freelander-

Thanks though for the informative notes to explain STOP and START.
