I'm not laughing...so true :(

Just been sorting out all my petrol receipts for the year to put in the cars history folder, the highest I paid was 140.9 in June with the lowest being 129.9 a couple of days ago. That is for Super Unleaded of course.
For a minute there I thought I just read you 'SAVE your fuel receipts to put in your cars history'!!

May I ask WTF and how have you got the time to sort through a years worth of receipts for such a purpose?![/quote]

Yes, you've read it right :oops: :oops: :oops:

Wallet gets emptied of receipts every few weeks and the petrol ones get shoved into a desk drawer. Come the end of the year, my petrol receipts then get sorted into date order and stapled together. Once stapled, they get put into the car folder along with all other car specific receipts. A little OCD to some but I've never had a problem selling a car when the time comes and I can validate that it has been run on SUL.

Just totalled up this year and I've spent £2125.65 in fuel having covered roughly 8k miles: the largest fill up being £85.30 @ £138.9L.[/quote]

Fair play Sam - I'm as OCD with the car with the best of them. But there's only one reason I save my fuel receipts and its not through choice!!!

They are slow to pass on the cuts but quick to add prices, and I don't feel sorry for offshore workers in general, most I know we're always bragging about how much they are on and what they have just bought etc and how their jobs were safe even during the recession.

Over inflated wages imo getting paid fortunes when the likes of the NHS POLICE AND HM FORCES are on less than half their wages.

This is in my opinion, rant over
Really!! so you nthink that us offshore works are on huge money LOL some are obviously but there are all trades and pay scales out there same as with everyone else , so what do you think the average wage , not taking in to account managers ,if your anwhere close i will commend yo , i agree a lot of jobe (police < nurses etc are overworked , underpaid , but your way off mate with you idea of wages , just for info my girlfriend ids a charge nrse in a surgical ward in an NHS hospital and i can tell yo for a fact with no lie she is on a slightly higher wage than i am , and i,m one of those bragging offshore workers your talking about and another final comment , a pal of mine is a pilot in the RAF and does a great job and has done missions in afghanistan and is on 50K + a year < my rant over

Same here mate. It's funny how you aren't allowed to complain that you might lose your job though, just because you've gone and got off your arse to get a job that pays relatively well.

Well there's one thing true, you can't run an RS4 on peanuts, it costs a fortune to keep it running and looking on top form.
