United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost
Most Expensive Top Up.

I'm sure this has probably been discussed before, but what is the most you have paid for a tank of fuel?

I filled my motor up today, ready for the family holiday which starts on Friday morning. The local Tesco Superstore dropped it's price to 128.9pence per litre this morning so I thought I would make the most of it. . . I managed to clock up £99.07 Shocked Shocked

I was going for the magic £100 but couldn't squeeze anymore go-go juice into the neck of the tank.

Fortunately I had the receipt from SWMBO's last weekly shop which also entitled me to an extra 5p per litre discount. So the final bill was only £95.27.

A colleague at work clocked up more than £116 worth of diesel in his Series 2 Disco at the weekend. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

my Tesco has £70 fill on the self serve pump, which is pointless as you have already authorised the card Mad

£88 is my biggest fill, but then the FL2 has a tiny tank Very Happy

....at the end of the day NickM as much as petrol is mostly taxation and it urks me to say so, it is still cheap IF you compare it to such things (as I do) like a bottle of coke - £1.35 for a half litre bottle today in the garage........criminal. Big Cry

If it comes to £200 a tank, so be it....I will just simply charge more for my time to my clients, therefore reducing the impact Thumbs Up My Gladiators:
