Oh and i love the girlzzzzzzzzzz!!!

I'm actually starting to question whether petrol is the way to go next.

Filled up the RRS yesterday and noticed that diesel is now 1.10 Euros per litre. Based on current exchange rate that is about 86p per litre!!!

Now I presume that is due to the sky high oil cost at the moment however for Cyprus that is horrendously expensive and I cannot see oil prices softening anytime soon. 06 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony, PTI, Running Boards, Privacy, S/C Grille/Vents, Stormers, Tasmods, Black Badge Soon...

Diesel here is expected to peak at 1.45 euro per litre this week, which if my calculations are correct is more than the UK!

That is cheap Flydrive, in some places it has stayed at more than £1.30 a litre.................................. but I noticed yesterday that at the Shell station where I normally get my diesel the price has fallen back to £1.159 a litre which is 1p less than it was before the shortages. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Not really, I was in London yesterday, Diesel is at 1.20!!

Luckily here in Switzerland is still 10-15 cents cheaper, don't for how long...... '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

You guys still have it easy - it's averaging out about £1.22 foe diesel here - which is over EU 1.50

Just a little by line....I used Shell V Power Diesel on the weekend (£1.28 a litre) and I put it in by accident, didn't see what type of Disel it was until I was filling the RRS up - and it really made a big difference to the performance of the car - I was up to 120mph on the M40 on the way back - max I have got out of it before is 115mph.....and still got about 380 out of a full tank.

Not normally the type who cares what type of fuel I use, but will certainly try and keep to the better brands from now on... 2007 RRS TDV6 HSE JAVA/EBONY SIDE STEPS, REAR GUARDS. 22'' STORMER WHEELS. FULL COLOUR CODE. SMOKED SIDE LIGHTS

Of course we aren't!!! t ssers

I've been running RRS SC and it was much cheaper to buy than equivalent diesel performance wise and if you do say 12k miles per year the lower cost of car and stacks more fun listening to the engine roar and supercharger makes up for the slightly thirsty car. It drives and handles better too as the engine is 100kg lighter and performance is instant at almost any reves. You can get the early SC for mid to late £20ks now which is much less than any TDv8! it will of course continue to devalue faster than diesel!

so having said alll that I'm now buing diesel tdv8 now as i expect to do 30k miles per year in new job so fuel econ had to come first! Andy J

Andy it will be interesting to read your comparison once you have had the TDv8 a while - I think you will be the first person here to have run an S/C and then the TDv8, quite a few of us have gone from TDv6 to TDv8 and the difference is huge.

One word of warning for when your TDv8 arrives - watch the oil consumption for the first 2k-3k miles - the engine blocks are high carbon content and absorb the lube oil until they are "run-in" - mine used about 1litre of Magnatec in the first 2000 miles and the level hasn't moved in the last 6000 miles (it has 8k on it now, since delivery last October) A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.
