Cheapest Super Unleaded in Brum is 142.9p & round Romford, Essex way, it's 144.9p......both from supermarkets.

If you prefer "proper" petrol, then Esso seems to be the cheapest in both areas 146.9p & 145.9p.

Just in case some of you are unaware, there is a web site that lists the cheapest petrol in your area or anywhere you might like to visit!

Taking everything into consideration as regards depreciation compared to my last BMW, and only having a work mileage of 3000 miles per year, then not going to worry too much.

Just want to enjoy the car and have fun!

Dougie, I've only just realised.....you have Ian's (Araf) old car :!: It's gone from Southernmost England right up to Southernmost Scotland 8) I thought I recognised it.

Plenty of history on here from Ian if you need to find out anything from its recent past.....
