Refuelling dilemma
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?

You have WAY too much spare time to be focused so much on this 1st world problem!

So what did you do in the end?
I'd have done a splash and dash with the tractor and used the Z4!
Coupes because stunning!

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