On the way into work i saw one petrol station with diesel at £1.91/l
It is normally overpriced there but i thought that was a bit much

I was just speaking to a friend who mentioned that the M40 services at Beaconsfield, which are normally horrifically expensive, are actually cheaper now than other local stations.

When I say horrifically expensive, they’re usually 15-20p/litre dearer than anywhere else in normal times.

I’m in Taunton right now and have just seen unleaded at £1.60 ish - which is better than I was expecting which is good as I have a 250 mile return journey home to do.

How you costing running a car it can be done cheap

My last 3 have been 1k or under. And done 3/4 years

With routine servicing etc bet the costs are 600 per year plus 200 quid insurance.

So maybe 1200 quid a year plus fuel. How much did you spend on bus tickets and taxis?

Yes it's a cost but it doesn't need to be 295 quid pcp a month plus running costs

I bought a house in a town I liked and comuted from as little as 4 miles to 27 miles a day before I went wfh full time. At that point I moved properly away.

197.9 derv by me.

It's more kero that's worried me could be 450pcm to heat n cook here. I'm in the process of doing work that'll help but even still 80pl for kero is eye-watering.

We're doing green tech now in the firm I'm in and I'm hoping to get some kit to trial etc
