with the price of fuel in the USA being so much less than we have to suffer, is that the best you can do, under a quarter full. I despair, you must look after MY car better!

It's creeping back up again lately. Means the round trip to go pick the kids up from school has gone from $5 to $7 in fuel.

Economy was never its strong point

Getting groceries is much more fun in an old'un. Went to Morrison's in the Cowley this morning - the long way. Forgot potatoes so had to go out again a bit later unfortunately*

Went and got a big shop the other day too, glad I have the air shocks in the back.
