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.

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

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!

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!

And then need a new set of tyres, discs and pads...

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
