Funny thing. The people who complain loudest about the petrol price (and diesel) are the ones who "just can't do without their big gas guzzlers".

For 30 years I used big cars and paid a lot to run them. Then I got a small car and found I could still do the same things at half the cost. The amount of money I spent on big cars would have bought me a house in the same time it took to pay of the HP on the car. My first car cost 1000 pounds and the HP took 80% of my weekly pay.

As I said before the price of petrol is cosiderably less relatively, goes further and better quality (does anyone remember pool petrol that we had during the war) now than what it was when I first became addicted to a car.
