Last time LPG was this high, diesel was bloody �1.30+/litre. -- "For want of the price of tea and a slice, the old man died."

Here it is again: "To get them both with 105PS, you're looking at £17,200 for the 1.2 TSI petrol and £18.410 for the 1.6 TDI... so nowhere near £2k. Go for the 90PS 1.6TDI, and you're looking at £17,800... so £600 more than the petrol." You will note that the model with the same PS is clearly shown to be £1210 dearer. > WHOA! :-) I used to find you rather abrasive but ultimately quite lucid in the points you raised around these parts. This thread though, you've all but dispelled that premise and without any real help from anyone else. Sure, you're still as abrasive... but the lucidity has sadly been cast aside in favour of yet more ill informed bollocks sneeringly presented as fact, and which when questioned, (and proven to be wrong), is largely ignored by you as you venture down yet another path of 'attack', as it were. Whilst the law of averages states you'll maybe 'hit the spot' eventually, with every post you make, the odds on that happening are thinning out. -- JackH

In all seriousness, I'm beginning to wonder what they've done with the real Steve Firth. ;-) -- JackH |
