Rachel Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 So - that's all I am to you guys? A potential source of cheap fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Better than cheap and full of potential sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 [ QUOTE ] So - are you going to answer my question? [/ QUOTE ] Well, mine cost me just over £60k (List price £58.8, plus a few options) when I bought it in May 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 OK, I finally managed to get out between downpours today and snap a few pics of the RS6 (interior as well, Russell ). I realise they are not top quality but I only had about 3 nanoseconds in which to take them. I'll try to provide something better when we get 15 minutes of sunshine - 10 to clean the car and 5 to take photos. In the words of EMF...

[/ QUOTE ] Speaking of petrol prices, check out this table from May 2004 (the numbers will be higher now) - apparently most Americans think they pay too much for fuel, so CNN decided to show them this. Note the US price isn't displayed in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Scary stuff when you're getting about 20 mpg!!! Maybe I will emigrate to Caracas after all - has anyone seen Gregory's Girl? But I can firmly recommend the famous city of Teeside to any foreign visitors to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russellfray Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Isn't US fuel much worse for economy than UK fuel though due to their non existent pollution laws? I read a few years ago that the average UK family saloon would do 35mpg combined wheras an equivalent US saloon would do something mad like 12mpg. So although it's cheaper to buy fuel in the US, you have to buy it three times as often, so overall it's actually not as different as people like to think it is. Then again maybe I dreamt it.
