Filled up the GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 13-09-2012
So I filled up the GTi6 last night.
Yep, thats f*cking ninety five quid! £95 to the penny!
It we get these 9p rises theyer predicting that will be me at £100 fill ups!
I wouldnt complain too much if it was a HDi but this is how many miles Id got since I last brimmed the car.
I shit you not, 304.6 miles to 64.23l of petrol or 14.13 gallons or 21.6 mpg
Admittedly I have been driving the wheels off it this last tank but this is serious.

RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 13-09-2012
2 for £2 on offer though mate, cheaper than the supermarkets at the moment and I needed them last night, at 5am I just couldnt keep my eyes open
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Toms306 - 13-09-2012

Theres loads on the 2 for £2 but I need the relentless as Ive been on nights and now im on a day off and Im not wasting it sleeping so Im staying up.
IIRC it was 147.9ppl for v power. TBH Ive stopped looking at the price cos its just £ra*e.99 everywhere. I think normal unleaded was 139.9 and diesel was 145.9
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Midnightclub - 13-09-2012
Normal unleaded down here is 134.9 for regular or 137.9 for premium, diesel sitting at 140.9 a litre still
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Pete - 13-09-2012
I just paid £1.60 PPL for diesel this week, needing a top-up on the M5 FTL.

The VPower price was on your reciept lol, Id aleady seen that.
But I didnt realise it cost so much more than regular petrol tbh! Regular is £1.37.9 a litre here (in town) atm, or add a couple of pence for the ones on the outskirts of town. So not far off yours in London then!

RE: Filled up the GTi6 - sweeney1987 - 13-09-2012
how did you fit over 64 litres in, thought it was a 60l tank, surely theres not 4l in neck??
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Ed Doe - 13-09-2012
You'd have driven a further 1.4 miles if you truly lived for the 306 though...
on a serious note, this is why I run a second car. Soon just to be in the 6 by end of the month though!
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Tom - 13-09-2012
Im sure the 6 is great fun but does that not depress you a little bit? Thats alot of money really :/ In other news tesco are selling 2x 5litre tubs of sunflower oil for £10
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - puglove - 13-09-2012
That is a ra*e im glad i dont drive mine day to day at them prices.
But on another note. Your going to all this effort to reduce weight and your brimming the tank
Half tanks FTW
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - vlj - 13-09-2012
Jesus christ, I'm glad I don't fill mine right up.. I get sad at how quickly I lose quarter of a tank

Most of it probably fell out the notorious filler neck anyway lol....
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Midnightclub - 13-09-2012
This has whats tempted me to possibly get a 2nd car.. 6' daily driving is a killer on the wallet...
Filled up the GTi6 - bowers - 13-09-2012
Just cost me 69 to fill up. I'll get 360 miles out of that
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Toms306 - 13-09-2012
Used to cost me around 60 to fill up, just short of 600 miles from that though lol.

I don't have a '6.
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Pete - 13-09-2012
Used to get 400 miles to a tankback in my 6 days, had to drive like a nun though.
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Grant - 13-09-2012
Come back when you get 110 miles from £85.
And then need a new set of tyres, discs and pads...

And engine, and spine, and driving licence...
Why put v power in chris if your gonna dislike the cost?
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - HDIkyle - 13-09-2012
Bloody hell I would have loved over 20mpg from mine!! I would struggle that on a steady motorway run. hard driving I saw around 11mpg :/
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - THE_Liam - 13-09-2012
I got 250 miles round town from £65 in the Skoda, that doesn't seem bad actually compared to a '6 now...
Just got 585 miles to a £60 tank of veg in the beigemobile though

Well you see vpower is 0.42% lighter per litre meaning the car is 27.006% lighter with a full tank than it would be with a full tank of fuel save. Because of this, it makes Chris 27.006% happier which offsets the 19.8% decrease in happiness when he sees his bank balance and realises its 2.8% lower than it would of been if he had gone for fuel save. This overall gives a 7.206% increase in Chris-ness
HOWEVER
Because Chris is 27.006% happier, his open smile is 2.867% bigger causing a 27.008% increase in wind drag meaning he's actually 0.002% slower than when he first started.
This clearly proves that vpower just is not worth the extra money
RE: Filled up the GTi6 - Eeyore - 13-09-2012
ahhh reading this makes me feel good about getting just under 200 miles on £40 in the 1.8!
