• Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2002) - Petrol station con? 25 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  Is it possible to fit more than 45 litres of fuel into the tank of a 106? Its a 45 litre tank and we got over 48 litres of diesel in at the station today! It was only just on the red too! It just makes me think wether the petrol station pumps are callibrated correctly and are we getting ripped off even more with increasing fuel prices?
• LPG - Good or Bad 1 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I do some 15/20k per year and thought of fitting LPG to my car. Is the benifits from this low cost fuel worth the savings and what problems could be expected. If as seen suggesting running half Gas/Petrol, then might as well run a diesel with the same fuel costs per year overall as Gas/Petrol. Your Comments ??

• £4.5k, which family car to keep long term? 2 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  Trouble is, I only average 10-12k max mileage, mostly local driving, 18 mile round trips. I really want a diesel, as I love the power delivery and fuel economy, but I am scared of buying because of the dreaded four (DMF, DPF, Injectors and Turbos). I really don’t fancy a gutless petrol that’s bad on fuel either.

• Skoda Superb Estate, VW Passat Estate, - Diesel or Petrol Estate/MPV 14 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  Plus, annual holiday invovles trips to sourthern france, so round trip of 3000 miles. Not sure about diesel or petrol. Have 2010 Fabia 1.2 TSi to trade in, very disapointed with fuel economy. Also , have a 1999 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDi, which regularly achives 45mpg in town on short trips and 60mpg+ on motorway and still going well at 162K+ miles and so will be keeping this.
