Default 404 miles on a tank full!

not through choice! happily zipped off yesterday morning from E/bridge kent to Port Talbot only to find i left my fuel card at home. got back having used 57L (32.2mpg.)

So if you saw a Blue WRX cruising sedately back down the M4 last night it was me!

Fuel Cards don't come free!

Mr. Brown sees to that.

I think they might notice that my Diesel had started drinking Optimax at a rather alarming rate

It was either a choice of a Vectra Diesel or an Astra diesel and keep the fuel card (and continue to give Mr Brown £96 for the use of the card on top of the car tax)

OR go it alone with a car allowance and mileage and as you only live once............................ Hello Scooby.
