Anyone actually "filling up"?
- Thread starter It's a fair cop...
- Start date
Live in a village so simples really that I fill up whenever I pass the Tesco or Sainsbury station in town with one of the cars. Use discount vouchers and ends up 10p/litre less overall than other stations.
Try not to get below 1/4 and always fill up as cost more the drive there and back than any weight related costs.
Tip - carry a nail or pop rivet and lock the pump on. Just hate standing there while Jag fills up with £100 worth of diesel.

Difficult - as the nozzle is in the tank and the lock is on the back of the pump handle
I literally pass three garages thru town and two on the a1 to and from work every day (15 miles each way) so it's no hardship to chuck in half a tank when needed.
Tbh my biggest bugbear is the state of the forecourts, slathered in muck and corruption with a uniform quarter inch of diesel from entry to exit.

Sorry for asking, i'm new to the forum and still trying to navigate my way about.
Ive just bought a 2007 3.0si coupe, what fuel is best? I usually use tesco 99 ron in my past cars but used tesco normal unleaded in my 2009 E85 2.0i roadster that i just traded in.

Nice engine upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0si coupe but wrong lid
Anyway search the 'which fuel' topics and you will find opinions from "don't bother with super", to "use nothing but the best". Truth is 95 ron works fine but 99/super will reduce any tendency for pinking, and may keep the system cleaner. I use the best on the pumps and always fill up because it's such a chore
Always fill up. Hate going to petrol station. Is it my imagination but she seems to drive better full.

We always fill all the way up. Two main reasons: Saves time. I use fuelly to keep track of petrol consumption. The car's computer reads high.

Does it actually ever warm up?
Walk to work!
Fill up when the light comes on usually. Or when the tank is higher and I know I will be doing a long trip that day and i happen to pass a petrol station (or happen to pass a shell v-power station if in the M).
