Fuel Prices are getting to me

So i spend some more this weekend.

I thought before the wallet is completely empty by these fuel prices, better use what's left in there and buy a new car

So I thought lets be smart here, and so i did

I bought a Smart TwoforTwo Cabrio Thumbs Up which will give me hopefully a return of 55mpg vs 24.7 in the FFRR

I'm still amazed to see people hammering down the motorways at 90mph everywhere - and I mean loads of people. My daily driver (Ford Transit Connect) normally does 380mile to a tank, however in the last week I've managed 450 a tank - and thats purely from driving no faster then 75mph on the motorways.

Used to work from home but I nearly died of boredom.

Now I have to travel an hour and a bit to go somewhere else and do nothing Laughing

i've just recently got access to my work computer from home.. i am also looking into this phenomenon of not travelling to work.. just too much hassle! plus random people can't walk into your office when your at home! well you would hope not anyway.. Smile
