Coming back from ooop north yesterday (everything is north of me) and I was just joining the M40 around Coventry. I had been playing chicken with the petrol gauge for a while but figured I would not make it to the next+1 services or stop on the M40 and so stopped at Warwick Southbound.
Cough, Splutter, Splash-n-dash
Petrol+ 98 octane at £1.96 a litre. I know, they need to stay open 24hrs a day etc etc. at 50p a litre over everywhere else I suspect it is inhibiting the profitability!
Put in a minimum and headed down the A34 to the Sainsburys.
On the upside I got an AMG M157 (5.5l V8 biturbo from a few generations ago) to do over 30mpg for 420 miles. I must be getting old(er) as that is a new record for me on that engine and I have had it in four different cars over the years.
