I dont know how you guys can even afford to live in the UK with gas at that price. It must tick you off to hear us complain about gas for $4.19 per gallon.
How many miles do you drive your trk per year? What else do you own?

Yes it does "tick" me off to hear you guys moaning when you have such cheap fuel, but I fully understand that if it goes up it affects what your used to paying. You guys have had gas guzzling V8's for years and years, cars like that over here are just not common unless you have LOTS of money.
I have had my Disco about 10 months and done 7000 miles, I dont do big mileage, if I did have to it would be gone tbh. I also have a D1 V8, and Im sure you are all aware how "thirsty" that is, but that only plays offroad.
It would actually be cheaper for me to sell my TD5 and buy a V8 now as petrol is cheaper than diesel over here now. It was always the other way around for years !!, until many many normal motorists bought diesel cars as they became more refined, so the goverment "hiked" the tax. Its just mad over here.
I would buy fueland waste it drivingaround at the price you guys pay !!

RE: GAS PRICE
I will NEVER sell my disco... But just today our prices went up 10 cents.... UGH!
I read a story that said all prices will be over $4.00 bucks by LABOR day, and its not even memorial day yet and most places have already hit that... needless to say that story was a few months old.
Since the disco was the first car I ever bought I decided I will only buy british cars...
Mini Cooper anyone??
Right now a small car looks real nice... But I always make fun of them... gah this is tough!

It will get better after Nov.
My wife and I see it this way, the trk is paid for, to buy a smaller car would cost us more than a several years worth of gas, even at $4.25 per gallon. We would take a loss on the trk, then the price of the car...we would lose on that deal. Not to mention that you cant off-road in a Aveo.

I wish.......$3 Gal?
I live in New Zealand..... Discoveries are popular here, but desperately expensive to run.
Our fuel is distributed from 4 main companies, these are allied to your main ones as well, Shell etc.
These companies adjust fuel prices regularly up and down...although more up than down....legally in NZ they are not permitted to "price fix", but none of them are prepared to offer fuel at a few cents cheaper....so all fuel costs the same in each area of country.
Although in "Remote" areas it can besubstantially dearer.....
May 30th 2008....
Disco Fuel (96 Octane) is $2.06 a litre.......there are very close to 4.5 litres in one Gallon
This equals within one or two cents off $9.00 per Gallon.
(cost me $138.00 to fill my 96 Disco ES, today...we are going bush for weekend)
( Discos sell for $12 (US)for D1 and up to $40K(US) for DII)
