Yep. It is averaging a quid a litre now. I fill a Discovery tank with 20 gallons of diesel about once every four days. Twice a week if busy. With the amount of shit it chucks out the back, I grow more concerned for the harm I'm doing to the environment. Fortunately I have a company-supplied fuel card, so it's doing no harm to my wallet. Our family car, a 12 year old Rangey with a 2.5 litre diesel engine fills the same BUT that travels far less and so we fill it once every 2 or 3 weeks. It may be more polluting than a small car, but it is recycling parts used previously on other vehicles to keep it going, and as such contributes less to our 'throw away' society. No plans to change it anytime soon. 100,000 miles and going !
