The article seems to have hit quite a few of the papers. Daily Telegraph page 9. Not sure how they work out that it costs £70 to fill the tank.

Interesting article, fair play to the old boy!
Costs me on average £35 to fill my tank, however mine is still the standard one, so I'm not sure how much it would cost to fill up the larger (van?) tank but maybe he has one of those fitted.
Is there much advantage in fitting one??
Best wishes,
Mike.

any press for our cars is good press and it comes no better than radio 2 in spite of the delivery method
