Well, well, at least beer get´s cheaper, lads. So you can all drown your sorrow about Camerons Clowns running Westminster. Thinking of you, Jochen

Grandad, where can you use your fuel card, I ran out when using a Shell card cos id had to drive 5 mile to find a Shell garage, if your out in the sticks why not have a tank and buy bulk?

whats the spot price on the market?



JET??? That's worse than ASDA shite.


oddly not in my Tdci, and its 141.9 today

Jet is one of the 4 brands i stick to (with ESSO, Shell and BP)


Makes my injectors rattle no end.

Mine likes Esso, there's no injector rattle at all on Esso. The only Esso's we've got round here are Tesco Express ones but there's none in Sutton.

Oil down $30 a barrel when are the savings going to be passed onto the public?? Oh silly me it's Uncle Gideons fuel escalator in disguise, the longer he keeps it inflated the more money he gets.
