[amggsi]

Omg look at the fuel prices!!!!!

It's bad when I remember the days £20 would have filled a Nova to the brim from empty!!

[pie]

i rember when 2-3 quid use to fill a jerry can lol

[wwmnw]

It's bad when I remember the days £20 would have filled a Nova to the brim from empty!!
It wasn't all that long ago I used to fill mine from empty to near enough full on about 25 quid, that was when it was £1 p/l.

[nova_saloon]

38p... 38p!!!! if it was that now, i just wouldnt give a ****e at how economical i was driving

[windfreek]

what were you driving, a ride on mower? lol

oh n when i started drivin it was 53p/l and cost me £17 to fill my merit!

[wwmnw]

1.2 Nova, a ride on mower would have been faster mind lol

[Jack]

25 litre tank? lol

LMFAO @ saying the word "breakdown" as it cuts to a shot of a Nova. Subliminal messaging anyone?

[Spudly]

What made me LOL, was the price differences written on the signs on the screens, id say theyre actually quite accurate for what the cars in question fetch these days lol

[wwmnw]

25 litre tank? lol

Remember I did say nearly full, or that was what the gauge read anyway and typical of Nova's it was probably wrong lol

[Jack]

25 litres should be just over half if its empty, its a 9 gallon/42 litre tank lol

[turbojolt]

When I fill up the caddy its almost hitting 80 quid from near empty and that only get me 400 miles, glad I don't pay for my fuel lol

[wwmnw]

Meh must have been more in than I remember/gauge reading wrong.

[Hayley]

LOL that is a funny video. "Diesel is likely to remain a niche market"

Wonder if that Nova still exsists

[Jack]

Slipped to 'unlicensed' in 1998. Amusing to think its been gone longer than it was on the roads lol

[Hayley]

aww sad face.

I was more excited by the mark 2 fiesta in one shot.. that was my first car....and to this day, still my fav!

[MK999]

Gauge hits full at about 25-30l in my experience, if you brim it for a long journey it will sit on the stop for a while, and the stop is way past the 'full' mark lol

[wwmnw]

Yeah I had noticed that it goes waaaaaay past the full mark, but I've only ever done that once never had enough money to do it again lol **** that's bad not being able to fill a Nova up :(

[MK999]

The idea of brimming the beamer genuinely fills me with terror lol

[turbojolt]

My old man always told me to never brim any of my old cars as chances are when you do the ****er will brake down and the fuel will be the most valuable part of the car lol

[wwmnw]

lol what beemer is it?

[MK999]

525TDS, 75 or 80l tank, so I make that about £112 to fill :/ But that should in theory get me 909 gentle miles along a motorway lol

[Bubba]

the BM will hit 3/4 of a tank with £35...ive been told E30s have stupidly small tanks

[Hobbit]

I put 360 litres in mine this morning and i'm already down to half a tank, 6mpg ftl

[wwmnw]

[Hobbit]

No idea. i just have a more gogo juice please card.

Not sure if I'm right but I don't think company's are aloud to sell the cars on that they give out for testing.

[Jack]

I think they can. I'm sure I've seen cars for sale that have been ex-demo cars for the press. Usually only mentioned on ones worthy of it though, so limited edition type things.

[turbojolt]

I swear when in collage the tutor told me they have to crush them he was on about how stupid it was that these brand-new cars were being destroyed

[Stuart]

Development cars tend to be crushed as they attract too much VAT given the cars are usually worth 4-5 times the 'value' of a production car and also the OEM would have to pay VED on all years used too (they get it for free on development fleets). Note Demo/press cars are usually very very well built production cars and can be sold.
So yeah, dev cars get crushed eventually... We have two DBS's and an Evora that will be crushed :(

[mowgli]

An evora you say.... I bet you won't go near it before the scrap man gets it......

[Stuart]
