Two Supermarkets Lower Fuel Prices

September 23, 2013 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

It’s All Doom And Gloom For Petrol Prices

January 16, 2011 by Mr Butterscotch 6 Comments

In what may well be a confirmation of a prediction I made on this site, Yahoo have ran an article stating that we may soon be paying up to £70 in order to get a full tank of petrol. Worse still, diesel could be up to £1.40 per litre, which isn’t unbelievable when current prices […]

How Much Fuel Do You Use In A Week?

January 14, 2011 by Mr Butterscotch 7 Comments

I reckon I spend around £15-20 a week on petrol – which isn’t a huge amount but it is noticeable if for any reason I take a longer journey and have to go for more petrol in the same week. I try to drive economically (I don’t think that the 1.8 litre engine is made […]

So What Did The Budget Do For Us?

April 23, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 1 Comment
