Petrol car is gone

Posted by on Aug 3, 2008 in fuel | 0 comments

Okay all of my plans for checking fuel efficiency and ways to improve this for both petrol and diesels have now been wrecked.

We have sadly been having a major over heating issue with the car for a month or so now and it has finally been diagnosed, the main engine block is cracked causing air to get in, to much air!

Obviously it would be simple enough to just replace the engine but in the long run we feel it would be just a bit to expansive for us to do this and well when we can survive with just one car what is the point in having them both. Its a case of paying twice for absolutely everything, tax, insurance etc.

So my tests will be done on diesel. Which in fact seems to be the fuel no one helps as it is already pretty good. But with it being in some places 20p more than petrol per litre every single mile you get from a gallon counts!!

A little intro

Posted by on Jul 24, 2008 in fuel, General, ptc | 0 comments

Okay well heres just a little start to this blog for you all. I up until now have never been a major blogger although i did, and still do, run a speedway blogging service called “Speedway-Blog.co.uk” which sadly never really kicked off. So i never felt the need to do many blogs on it.

So really this will be my first major blog and I will proudly update it as regularly as i possibly can.As for my topics I dont really want to narrow myself down to much as well at the moment so much is going on and i am learning so much that I feel i could blog anything that happens as to help you get through similar situations or just in general to show how I dealt with it.
