Fuel Top-Up these days Ls400

[Malc]

so it's come to pass ........ I can rarely just go to the  " pay at pump "    pump

today  71 ltrs  at  local Tesco,  E5 Momentum ( 99 octane is it ) 147.9p / ltr  =  £105.01 ....  the orange light showing on the dash fuel gauge

Pay at P max £99 they say so just have to go into the kiosk and remember my card pin no. too 

so 85.1 ltrs would now be £125.86               BUT she never gets to zero left in the tank

when's the price coming down then ? used to be nigh empty and still get lots of change from £100

Life is a roller coaster and so are fuel prices🤣

Prices won't be coming down any time soon as the Saudi's seem to be enjoying the high prices.
There is way more demand than supply at the moment.
I put £119 (76 litres @ £1.57) at some services on the A14 into my LS430 on Dec 27th.
I'm just glad I'm not using a tankful per week any more.

Bernie Scripps the garage owner on Heartbeat said "Petrol will never go past 3shillings and 6pence a gallon" I wish, Rip Peter Benson.

Mine hasn’t used a drop of petrol for 3 weeks being sat at a “secure” airport car park for this time.

Looking at the present UK prices it may be my best investment ever with a 20% yield in 3 weeks as long as the tank is still full.

With lower taxes the present cost here in Gran Canaria is around €1.34/L.

Steve, your Investment Banker status is assured   ...  you can join the ranks of Warren Buffet the sage of Omaha .....  as the sage of Derbyshire .......

I filled the Honda Legend today, down to 12 miles left it said ....  £104.61 ......  couldn't of course use the Pay at Pump ..  I just knew it would be over that £99 limit, even for the local Tesco  E10  at 156.9p / ltr

Is that a good price i wonder

For the mileage I do, the increased cost of fuel is not exactly welcome, but it's no big deal really. I have done everything I can to use as little as possible, checking tyre pressures etc. 

I also found that if I take advantage of the 400's superb aerodynamics in the way I drive. My Audi A4 Avant will coast in neutral if it detects a downhill slope in Efficiency mode. I have found that a similar effect can be achieved with the Lexus in that simply by lifting off the gas on downhill stretches it seems to maintain its momentum better than most cars out there. Where previously I would have been applying gas I just lift off. It makes a visible difference to mpg. It makes no difference to my progress. I'm not hypermiling or even recording my mpg, but it definitely makes a difference.

Let me cheer you guys up a bit......I've just filled my 460 with E5. Here, in Holland, it is 2.39 euros a litre. That is £2.02!!!!!
