• BMW 320dSE diesel consumption 11 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I bought a 320dSe(150 b.h.p.) earlier this year on the premise that the fuel consumption would be approx 50 m.p.g. To date I have done 6k miles & it is only averaging 39 m.p.g. I was wondering if this will improve (say after 20k miles) and if any backroomers with this model could pass on their fuel consumption figures??

• VW Beetle TDi 18 Jan 2001 (Forum)
  and if so, are they planning to sell them in this country ? I know that diesel is not the preferred choice but with the fuel costs as they are i am looking at fuel economy rather than outright performance ! Regards, Ash.
• VW Golf Mk3 poor pick-up from idling 4 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  where do I look (under the bonnet?), and do the symptoms suggest it might be faulty? What about the fuel pump itself ? I was wondering if the repeated switching of the fuel pump relay might have damaged it? Haynes also says this car?s fuel / ignition system can only be investigated by a garage with a diagnostic system, yet my local VW dealer was quoting £300 of labour to replace the throttle body and investigate the problem.
• Aviation fuel taxes 17 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  The UK has the largest set of double taxation agreements in the world. All negotiated over many years. Every single one exempts our airlines from being taxed on fuel in other countries in return for us not taxing their airlines on fuel in ours. Thus inside the fence at Heathrow you have effectively a fuel tax free zone. Now we can impose taxes on our home airlines if we wish but we have just bankrupted BA, Easy Jet and Ryan Air as we have just made them uncompetitive on price as they are being taxed and others aren't.
