I had a quick squint at todays petrol prices and there is an odd anomaly. One of the two garages in Peebles is suddenly showing 185.9p/l for unleaded. It could be that someone has entered the diesel price by mistake, but it's the same on two different price checker sites. Who may both be copying...

That is nice work if you can get it! You must turn a fair profit.

How long ago did you set that sweet deal up?

You could always use a manual tyre pressure gauge to check before you drive off.

As far as I know, the app will give you the last reading it had before you turned the car off. In any case, you have to drive maybe a quarter of a mile or more before the system will register a change in pressure, so it's not good for spotting a blow-out, or for registering a tyre that went flat...

I'm an absolute addict. I'm currently scouring the cinema listings to see if I can organise to go to an encore showing next week - and only partly because we lost the last ten minutes of act 1 to a satellite glitch. I was at another opera of similar length in Livingston a week ago. And as it's...

Some of you may remember my saying when I got my car how far I had to go to find a petrol station and how blissful it was just to plug in at home. Well, the map of petrol station prices rather illustrates that.

I see your 4.5p and raise you my 3.49p.

He says he has bought an MG4, but his profile says MGS5. Maybe he can clarify.

Happy Huntigowk.
