Is the 3p per mile tax/charge thing just to make up for this huge drop in the cost of filling up the car?

Oh, referring to above, our Octopus Standing charge will remain: 43.82 p / day I wonder if they are now offering better deals for existing customers than for new ones. Would be a big change from the bad old days of British Gas fleecing the elderly.

Just seen the email from Octopus. Go Off-peak unit rate: 4.99 p / kWh

Just had an email from Octopus They are dropping prices from 1st of April after the upcoming changes to charges (government taking some of these on instead of customers). This takes 3.5p off the unit, which is nice for the peak rate. ~30.5p down to ~27.5p But for the off peak rate that seems...

I didn't add 'colour' as a consideration. I don't think there is much difference between the two is there? Ealing Green for the MG4 vs. Stone Green for the Urban Picadilly Blue for the MG4 vs Holborne Blue for the Urban

I've set it up to allow up to three selections.

There are now two MG4s. Have we done a poll on preferences between the two? I think that people in this forum are talking more about the refreshed MG4 rather than the urban. I wonder if we are an unusual group in our interests, but still, I thought we could review the responses to the two...
