Shell petrol stations.

I put 100 quid in the car. Went to pay, came back and it has all evaporated. I shall put 10 in next time.

did you spec the optional '100 glass' petrol tank? That may be your issue!

Does it make the lawnmower quicker, run better and help with the longevity of the engine!?

Nah but he gets more grass per gallon

How many smiles per gallon did you get? Lmao my little Starlet is happy with £30 which nearly maxes out the tank....It's gone in about 30 minutes of hard driving tho haha. I think im going to be filling up rather often once the 550 injectors go in!

Tempting though it was....not enough LED’s

Imagine you leave 5 glasses of water on your coffee table and go to work on a relatively warm day.

When you come back all 5 glasses are now half empty.


Now if you leave 1 glass of water, only 1 glass will be half empty.

Lol where do you live, the sun?

Lol where do you live, the sun?

Thanks for the laugh, still giggling now

If I only put in £20 I wouldn't complete many journeys without stopping to fill up. Also my car has no cap, oh noes! the evaps!!!

You have 5 fuel tanks?

Makes those two tank overland vehicles look puny!

Lol asim18 is the genuine Riddle'r. He does make some good points in his own way.

Uranus, so quite a cold dark place really!

From all the bikers we thank you for slopping fuel on the road.

Thank Ford, they're the ones who installed it on his car

 

[Simon]

It has a cap. Just one you don’t need to screw on

 

[mjt]

This is why self driving cars will be amazing - imagine the fuel savings when you no longer need to carry the weight of a driver around with you!

Legend.

It's a new Mondeo, they don't come with a cap, it has a little cover that hinges. I don't think any of the smelly fuel has ever escaped.

I don't get why people are moaning about how much fuel someone puts in their car lol.

I always put in £20 at a time too. £20 gives me 200 miles of range and I only do 100 miles a week (I prefer walking everywhere). I cant think of one good reason why I would fill up £60 just so I can have a load of fuel sloshing round my car and evaporating away for an extra month. Also with the recent retarding of driving standards and roads being designed to increase accident rates, there's a massive risk of some idiot crashing full speed into my parked car, then I have £55 worth of fuel gone down the drain or burning away in a fireball.

Your really telling us that’s a serious consideration?

I’ve tested the theory of running around with a full tank and a near empty one, the disadvantage of the latter is having to know your within range of a fuel stop pretty much all the time, with a full tank (despite it being 85litre capacity) I can’t honestly say I’ve noticed a detrimental effect on fuel consumption at all its there certainly but it’s negligible to say the least.

 

[smilertoo]

I guess it depends on what and how much you drive, 20l is enough to move my honda jazz for 2 weeks.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Ones things for sure, I only ever put £20-£25 in the wife’s car.
