Happily both ours were MOT'd last October, so it isn't an issue... yet..!

While doing that I also filled my heating oil tank, I needed some anyway and at 41p a litre it was less than last time it was filled. The saving on last time was around £60. Prices continued to go down, had I waited a couple of weeks it was down again and I could have saved another £20. That's life nowadays though I guess!

And we are still being ripped off with the petrol prices, it has been reported that the oil producers are now actually paying the petrol companies to take the oil away ! So with only transport and refining costs to pay and even taking into account the high taxes on fuel the cost on the forecourts really should be down to about 50 or 60p a litre.

I am even more aware of the tax on fuel as the price I pay per litre for heating oil is almost without taxes. Where I quoted 41p a litre that is what diesel would cost without the rip-off tax on it. That includes 5% VAT so the price per litre without any tax would be around 40p or slightly less (39.36p). Rather different from the £1.22 a litre before fuel prices crashed due to nobody using it.

You must know something about Longdogs that I don't then OGF.

I always get the distinct impression that, when you are in your running shorts, the sight of your legs and knees appear to get some of the ladies on Over50sForum going!
