  Fuel price hike adds £5 to the average fill 5 Oct 2016 (News)
  Brexit and an increase in the wholesale cost of oil has been blamed for the price hike, with the former causing the value of sterling to slide to a 31-year-low against the dollar. The pound is also at a four-year-low against the Euro, which has made it more expensive to import fuel in to Britain.  The price of a barrel of oil, the biggest variable affecting UK fuel prices, went up 8.0 per cent finishing the month at $48.35 a barrel and a little way off the 2016 high price of $50.73 that occurred in early June.

  A Grand Monday: Talbot Horizon 10 Feb 2014 (News)
  The description that comes with this one is a little thin on the ground, but the seller is a trusted and well-known classic friendly garage with a fetish for all things - and it comes with that all-important tax and MoT in time for the event season later this year. It's a 1.3LS, which means it's powered by the sweetest (in relative terms) unit in the range - it's slightly less refined than the entry level 1.1, has enough power to keep up with the flow, and delivers excellent fuel consumption.

  M25 celebrates its 25th birthday 1 Nov 2011 (News)
  After its completion in 1986 it didn’t take long for the M25 to reach capacity and since then it’s been almost continually worked on, widened and added to – something that’s likely to continue for a very long time. But despite all of its shortcomings the M25 is a very important and necessary road. Before its construction, moving from the south to the north of the Capital and vice-versa involved driving through the already congested city centre, and commuting was difficult for many people living in satellite towns like Watford, Staines, and St Albans, as well as other towns and cities further afield.
