Refuelling dilemma

Post by djstan » Tue Aug 07, 2018 2:26 pm

Thought this could be interesting...

I have an indicated 5 miles of fuel left in my Audi A6 TDI. Do I:

- Drive to Morrisons which is 2 miles away but diesel is 128.9
- Drive to Tesco which is 8 miles away (and on my way home), where diesel is 123.9
- Say sod it and drive home (12 miles) and take the Z4 to work tomorrow? :rofl:

So what did you do in the end?

I'd have done a splash and dash with the tractor and used the Z4! :)

I braved it and went to Tesco - short shifting and being very light on acceleration - got nearly 49mpg! :rofl:
