Has anyone had this before?

People who think their car is amazing as it only takes £20 or whatever to fill their tank.

Just had to explain it all to a very dim girl i know.

How stupid can you get??

Motorway services make me lol, the light came on in the Punto once.

Pulled into Kuntsford Services, Rolled up to the pump, saw the price and coasted on past got back onto the motorway and drove to J17 and got it from the Texaco instead, was something like 5p cheaper
