    ...or is that what I just saw on the telly ad, a minute ago (and no, it's not Steriling, I'm in 2-channel land.........)

    Fuggin' 'ell. They need to build one in Galway - bloomin' quick !

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Need to spend 100 quid in their horribly overpriced store to get it!

    My car takes 35 litres if I drain it = at most save 3.50 on the fuel vs. my local Esso when I'd have to not only do three weeks shopping (and I use a tank a week), I'd end up spending far more than my usual Lidl/Aldi/Centra combo....

    It's 99.9 c/l if you spend €100 or more 1.09 c/l otherewise. Still it's heading in the right direction

    aaaaaaaaaahh.

    But still, 1.09 is better than a poke in the eye of a sharp stick, as they say.........

    Its also not the cheapest you'll find (within a day or two if not yet) in areas competing with a Tesco ;)

    Standard on 100HP or 4x4 Pandas (the cars with less electronics/etc ironically have more space for a 40L tank...).

    Its rare that I can get more than €30 in to it when the red light flicks on; less so now since the price fell!
