Car ran well. Filled up at the Supermarket in St Ambroix on the way back for a tankful of E1095 at 1,71€ per litre - approx £1.45.
The traffic was terrible.
The D904 between St Ambroix and St Paul le Jeune, travelling north.
The Petrol is coming down towards that price here now thankfully.
For my other hobby fuel is now in excess of £500/ton, and coal is becoming very difficult to get hold of as the UK source (Wales) has a broken washplant and the Ruskies are sanctioned. Alternatives from Scotland, Poland, Columbia and Kazakstan come witu a smokescreen
We had a run out trialing some manufactured solid fuel yesterday. Seemed to be perfectly acceptable to me. £11.20/ 20kg bag = 4 miles. Was £6-7 6 months ago. No complaints though, excellent fun. Subway in the sun for lunch and almost no smoke. The canopy was a bit low on the building to go via the drive through at Mcdonalds
I thought I'd mention that as I saw an Ulster/Special on a trailer. A41 near Newport, Salop. Anyone here? No photos sorry.
