Mine's the same, it takes amazingly long to get to temp. Stoopid diesels. Why do I bother? Oh aye, 58mpg on a long run.

I used my four as a daily driver, and once I find the time to re-build the spare motor I have and install it then it will continue to be my daily driver. The driving conditions here arent as bad as what I have heard about in the UK, no salted roads etc

What about the cost of gasoline out there then? Here it's sitting at @ £1.12 a litre for super-unleaded. Got to fund the war and the bankers though eh?

80% tax mumble mumble.

Yeah I'm surprised no-one is protesting about fuel. Back when it was <£1 a litre the truckers were moaning they were going bankrupt, now they're silent and its 10% higher!

over here, 95 RON is ~ $1.7 NZ which works out at around £0.74 per litre. And we thought our prices were high!

The best bit about having a run about is sticking any old petrol in it instead of being stuck with V-power. Plus my mums 5p off tescos vouchers come in very handy indeed lol  ;D
