No excuses for running out of fuel now then!

Other than being blinded by the bright sunlight and not being able to read the gauge or enjoying the scenery so much I forgot to look at it or forgetting that unlike my modern is doesn't go 'ping' when it gets to reserve. Speaking of which my modern did go 'ping' this morning. I have let it get low as from tomorrow the gouvernement are upping the subsidy on fuel from 18 centimes/l to 30 for the next 2 months.

Lucky man! I dipped my oil tank yesterday and within a fortnight I’ll have to spend the price of a Herald refilling it. Despite the price of bulk oil still coming down, fuel prices are going up. The difference in price between what I paid last time and the next bill would have bought a lot of interior trim for my convertible! Petrol is also now around 20p a litre cheaper than diesel here, if not more, but still high.

Fuel for cars only at the moment. electricity pegged for those of us who resisted the temptation to switch to private companies a while ago, now I am the one smirking.

I also would normally be ordering heating oil but have held off, like you, due to massive increase in price. Also waiting for more info on a government measure to give a subsidy on heating fuel. Details of how it will apply and to who etc. Original idea was for it to be like petrol & diesel, a reduction at the pump for everyone, but now it is to be targeted. Don't know if I'll qualify. 🤞

Diesel here now dearer than petrol, I've just done the calculation to see if it is cheaper to go shopping in the Triumph or take the diesel modern tomorrow . . .
