don't put too much petrol/diesel in your car

Ever since the time when I let my car run quite low on petrol only to find there was no petrol available I’ve kept it totally full ( instead of my usual half full) regardless of how much it costs!

£1.86 cheapest near me here in Co.Antrim, it's 10p cheaper than 2 weeks ago.

If you’re near the self service one at Dallas Diner in co. Antrim it’s £169.9 ?

My son has a hybrid car ( company car) and he tells me it consumes a huge amount of petrol per mile once its electric charge runs out.

I have a hybrid car which seems to switch to petrol soon after starting off but for some reason I seem to use much less petrol with it than my last non-hybrid. The thing is a mystery to me!!

Quick! Quick! Where do I find these free chargers? The ones in the park car-park and the supermarkets charge.

There are loads of free chargers in Scotland I know it won't last but while it does we will be using them. Once they are no longer free we will use our solar slow charge.

168.9 for unleaded today in Yeovil

Nope, not going down here yet - even Tesco was nearly as expensive as the Shell garage at just 1p cheaper a litre. ?

£1.86 Doncaster

Went out this morning and passed a petrol station who had unleaded at l83.9 a litre. Passed it again on the way home this afternoon and it was 179.9 a litre.

Thank goodness it seems to be coming down again.

Janetsshbolt. Don’t be silly. Motorbility cars simply mean that a cash benefit you are entitled to is paid directly for the car.

It's always better to calculate the amount you need for journeys and buy accordingly.so if you use car maybe once or twice a week only why lug around a full tank? It's expensive and you burn more fuel carrying the extra weight. My DS used to calc his fuel exactly when he was first working to ease his cashflow with a poorly paid job!

Surely, if you top up to full, you'll add to the overall weight and so increase usage per mile (OK, kilometre)? So unless you need a full tank for a long journey, it would make more sense to never have more than half a tankful?

Mollygo if you look at apps like ZapMap or Chargemap you can usually set a filter to find free chargers.

Thanks Mamie

Casdon - it's lower still today!!
If a private enterprise can do it, why can't the 'big boys' do the same?

We are changing our car on Friday. Guess who filled it with diesel a few days ago? ??

Down to £1.65 in Co Durham - let's hope it keeps going in that direction!

Plug in electric is not cheap what with electric prices at an all time high. I have a hydrid which my husband adores, it's a motobilty car so petrol is all we pay for

At a local independent garage diesel is £2.25. It's summer tourist season here, prices always rise a bit . An electric car would suit us very well as we don't travel far so mileage is low, but they're just too expensive, even used ones. DH won't even consider it.

Bear in mind just how much you can save on fuel if you have free chargers nearby.

It's 192 for diesel here but unleaded seems to be dropping, which will help some people

What’s the price in North of Scotland?
This morning in Berkshire (England) it was £197 for diesel and £186 for petrol. My diesel doesn’t last as long as it did before lockdown.

I think that’s the way to go Esspee. It’s costing me £10 for the 50mile round trip to either DD. I’m making a real effort to ‘kill 2 birds’ when I can.

I'm feeling smug. We have done over 3000 miles in the last 3 months and spent nothing on fuel. Seems we made the switch to electric at just the right time. ?
