Fuel economy is no longer an issue over here, todays newspaper headlines
include "Tony Blair the man who runs the country....dry"
MV owners the length and breadth of the country will doubltess drain their
jeeps and every thing esle, I would of course take the 20 gallons out of the
halftrack (there is never any left in the tank) but I dont have anough fuel
in the car to go over to the workshop......
There is a warm thanks for anyone who wishes to send 50 gall drums of fuel
by Fed Ex to the beleguared of Britain, but then fed Ex dont have the fuel
to deliver it here anyway.....
Regards, NIGE
