Well, that's Edinburgh into the £1.31 a litre bracket.

On a TXI, that's 20 bucks for every 100 earned

1/5 of your earnings . . . .

A TXII auto, 1/4. . . .




It ain't getting any better . . . .

If they do Skull they are only going after the nuke reactors mind you they could get rid of more than half of the lunatics there in the process of blowing them up and the extra oil would be free :wink:

The Iranians won't kiss as* and the rest of the Muslim world will back them up.

This could get very messy ... the gulf would go up like a box of squibs.


Trust me, if this kicks off we're all fecked .. . .

and in the meantime, engine manufacturers are producing engines that simply wont run on reliably bio-derv, or any other fuel that can be manufactured, can i retro-fit an old perkins engine instead of a duratorq?...

im getting 45mpg out of a mondeo, i used to get the same out of a montego tdi

progress? what progress?

bio-derv doesnt lubricate the new breed of high pressure/hdi/common rail injector pumps

fuel prices cant be that bad, here in York we have drivers doing jobs for nowt

one driver took a job York to Edinburgh, asked for 50 quid up front, when arrived in Edinburgh the punter walked off without paying the rest

another driver took a York to Gatwick, when he got to the other end he asks his passenger, this is a York Station taxi credit ain't it, the punter replied, yes it is book it down to them, then left the vehicle, on return to York the driver found no dockits issued for credit as it was a cash job
