Do you still use Chips card to fill up your car?

Isn't that the smallest car in the world, the one that Jeremy Clarkson drove around the offices in.

I think it is.  I've just noticed how small and totally ineffective the windscreen-wiper is on that car.  What's the point?

Surely the wiper needs to wipe the screen, not a minute area of it?

It only needs to wipe the bit you look out of. If you think of where your eye line would be in something that small then it will be right. The rest on the windscreen will probably only be looking at the bonet from such a high tight line. I would guess.
The wiper isn't the reason I'll be getting one.

Is that like when it snows and the car is covered, and people wipe a small letter-box sized area clear on their windscreen and then drive?

I'd imagine it's like driving a tank. they probably just have a little hole to look through. having a big hole would allow people to shoot bullets at the driver

No. They don't make allowances for gravity or back wash from the flow of air. This design does.

Flow of air - - only on a windy day!

I filled my car for £39 last night at Sainsburies.

So i got a full tank, a bottle of lucozade and change from £40, i still think this is decent value.

lol, I put 60 quid in my car the other day (last me a week and a half max) and it still wasnt full.

Bring on the new car, not coz its more efficient, just coz it has a smaller tank so will seem like i'm fillling up for less!

Gordon Brown has warned that high oil prices are here to stay as Downing Street played down speculation over a U-turn on road and fuel taxes.

The Prime Minister said that while he wanted to help the "hardest hit" families, the problem of global demand outstripping supply was "long-term".

"Of course in the current situation we are trying to do things that will help those families who are hardest hit," Mr Brown said. "This is not just a national problem. It is a global problem of supply and demand, not just in the short term but the medium term and the long term."

The comments, at a meeting with industry leaders in Scotland, came as the Government unveiled moves to boost North Sea oil production by up to 70,000 barrels a day.

Business Secretary John Hutton said it was vital Britain made maximum use of its resources to ease pressure on the economy.

However, there was still confusion over how ministers would respond to anger among the public and Labour backbenchers over the planned rises in road and fuel taxes.

In the wake of strong hints from Cabinet ministers on Tuesday, Number 10 played down suggestions there could be a U-turn over the 2p hike in fuel duty and controversial reforms to road tax.

"Of course we understand the concerns consumers face, but we also need to take into account the need to ensure economic stability, to fund public services and to promote energy efficiency," the Prime Minister's spokesman said.

"All that John Hutton and Jack Straw were saying yesterday was nothing more than of course the Government understands the concerns that consumers face."

I just had to put this on here.

[boldie]

The price of Petrol is not a supply and demand issue at the moment. I was stunned (and laughing) when I saw Brown had traveled up to Aberdeen to tell Oil producers to produce more oil to lower fuel prices..I expect their answer was "Why don't you lower your 300% tax a bit?"

[rajkan]

What do you mean by 300% mate, is that how much tax we pay mate.
