    I filled it throughout the year with this stuff, car goes like the clappers and does not cost the earth.

    Are you telling you guys have been paying €1.50+ for fuel the past 12 months?

    That's going to keep me going all evening.

      I have a fiat 500 not a Rolls Royce phantom. I could fed her Whiskey and she'd Vvvvaavoom.

          It has a lower energy content so you get less miles per gallon. Have you bothered to measure? You'll probably find you still save a bit but not as much as you think.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            If you make assumptions you'll nearly always makes bad decisions in business.

            I suggest knowing before broadcasting.

              Yes I have. On the Autobahn it is not so good, I may as well use super+, and I do from time to time. But in the city E10 is fine for a 1.2 litre engine like the 500. Normal usage means I'm filling the tank once every 3-4 weeks. I don't really drive out of the city expect down to the lakes from time to time.

                You've omitted material information from your statement that was likely to make it misleading - this means you were either stupid or just intentionally trying to mislead.

                  I'm suprised you bother with a car tbh. When I lived there I just hired them when I wanted to go to the mountains or Austria. The lakes are easy enough to get to on the s bahn.

                    You mean like the 40 minutes it would take Iraq to point their WMD towards to the UK only to find they don't exist, that kind of omission? Help me out here.

                    I can hardly be blamed for your misunderstanding! You so must be manager with that outrageous remark!!

                    Take some responsibility for your actions, admit you've made booboo and move on.

                      I agree, the lakes are easy. Lake Sternberg in particular, oh can't wait until the summer, beer by the lake.

                      The car has been sat downstairs in the garage for most of the winter already. The public transport here is so good there's really little need for the car. But it's nice to have and is not expensive to keep.
