My heart nearly stopped today when for the first time it has cost me €100 to fill the Mondeo, this is getting rediculous.. €1.64 per litre.. when i first bought the car 2 years ago it was €1.20 a litre...
So its costing me about €30 more to fill her...
where is it going to end, prices are not settling down..

my last tank cost me £72 till the click but it was not fully empty 
it would cost me approx £78 to fill from bone dry roughtly at the price i last paid ( £1.339 unleaded ) but when i 1st got my mk3 it would cost me £49 ( maybe even less as i cant remember the exact figure ) to fill it from dry.
agggh, the memories of 84.9p a Litre - was even les when i had the previous 2 cars ( child of the mid 70p price tag when driving began
)
