Speaking to a servo attendant today.

They were measuring the bill board to fit a number 2 prefix in the board, instead of the one.................. :gren: :gren: :gren:

dad sent me an email today (he lives in the U.S). he was saying that they are paying just over $3US a gallon (which is 3.8 litres) and it is expected to rise to $5US a gallon by christmas. that should put things into perspective of whats going to happen here.

LOL, Its sad but it could be worse. I saw a guy in a nice shiney white VT tonight filling up with LPG while I was chucking in a few bucks worth of PULP. He seemed happy and content with his world. Hell, it was cheap for him.

Of course as I paid (a few people after him) and drove off, he was still scratching his head with the bonnet up wondering why it wouldnt start. LOL, it may be cheap...but it got him nowhere. Even after having my wallet raped it was still enought to bring a smile to my face.

I will not stop putting pulp in the XR ,

I did my homework and it uses less fuel and has more power on PULP so i will be staying with it.
Just having that 91 crap running through your fuel line is enough not to use it i reckon, it really is crap fuel
