5 cans = 100ltrs = £144.50...

Diesel would have been £150.40

Sticks'n'rags, anyone?

Fuel price doesn't bother me. All the morons driving at 40mph to 'save fuel' since the prices went up do though.

I've had my L200 for approx 6yrs. When I bought it, it cost £56 to fill it from fumes to brimming. I've just filled it from very low to brimming, £85.51.

No point in moaning or altering one's boating habits, as there's f' all we can do about it. It's better to flog the boat than not use it IMV.
