3.1.11 Fuel For Thought

In the paper last week, I saw some earth shattering news about fuel and forthcoming price rises.  One extract was as follows:

The AA warn [sic] that things can only get worse when the VAT hike kicks in.  The AA say [sic] a two-car family's fuel costs will rise by £104.  But spokesman Andrew Howard said there were ways to save.  He explained:

"Don't make unnecessary journeys, keep the car light and drive gently.  Accelerating hard will lead to higher fuel consumption."

No fuckin' shit, Sherlock!  As if we need any spokesman to point out the cuntin' obvious.  I never knew that not making a journey would save me money!  So, for those of you who were about to load up a car with 8 people, put a fridge-freezer on the roof rack, and drive manic-ly with stupid levels of acceleration, all the way to Aberdeen and back just for a laugh, DON'T DO IT, and you'll save money.
