| 1161746 | 2010-12-15 02:57:00 | Some time ago we managed to just squeeze $100 (exactly :D) of diesel into a near empty Toyota Land Cruiser. The same vehicle now easily takes more than that with some fuel still left. :( | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 1161752 | 2010-12-15 04:34:00 | Your memories are short! It has been $2 per litre before infact up to $2.30 just a few years back before the financial collapse. Its funny when I left the UK 8 years ago it was 73.9p which converted to $2.05 then, I always thought us fortuante to enjoy such cheap petrol over here and still do. True it does hit the pocket though I drive for a living these increases though really do hurt the more miles you put in and sooner or later thats going to have an impact. My get to work costs are whats going to make me reaccess if it is worth doing the small jobs of which make up the bulk of hours and the cost. |
