Petrol below £1 a litre...

[RED-DOG]

The thing about filling your car up i just don't get why the vast majority of people don't just fill up their tank to the top.  I find it amazing how many people put in sub £10 amounts of petrol.  What a ball ache constantly going to the garage every other day to put £5 of petrol in your car.  How many people just always fill their car up in full and run it down to close to empty then refill?  Am i in the minority here doing this?

I do the same, although running the car with the tank half full takes 25-30kg off the weight load which presumably makes a difference.
But lately I've been buying gift cards from Morrisons and maximising the benefit of the reward. B&Q, Amazon, Google Play and Ticketmaster. Max savings so far were 20p a litre, but that's £11 in my account rather than theirs.

Qashqai 1.4 Diesel N-tec, getting 42mpg for mostly urban driving, but have had 58mpg on proper trips with Motorway/A road driving.

That's great economy for a big car Dave. I'm told they are quite torquey too How do they get that sort of performance from such a small engine?

I find it so annoying when people just put in £10 of petrol or any amount that isn't full to the top. I've asked a few friends why they do this and they all say they can't afford to fill it up. They'll put more petrol in the next day and as far as I know they haven't received any income I those 24 hours.
There's no reasoning with them, it actually costs them more because they use petrol driving to the filling station more often.

It's witchcraft I think Tom.

I get about 46mpg from a mazda 6 which is way below what they claim it should do. 

I got much the same from an old mondeo that wasn't far off manufacturers figures, so I don't think it is my driving.
