So, what do you do in order to fund your Z's thirst for petrol? (You never know, someday you might find a use for someone on the board!)

I'll start the ball rolling...

I'm the I.T & Telecommunications manager for a company called Roberts of Port Dinorwic, quite a varied job, from boring desktop pc's to checkweighers, production line printers and nitrogen tanks

I'm also studying for an Open uni course, first one (T173 Engineering the Future) don't really know why, not only has it increased my work load, but I paid £245 for the privilage!

I'm also a partner in a teeny weeny I.T company which admittadly we set up last may, but are no where near now, to when we were then for a launch date....

If you worry about the Z's 'thirst for petrol', you :

* Have the wrong car

or

* Are in the wrong job

or

* Need to work harder

or

* Need to chill out a bit, and just enjoy it!

Its not a thread about petrol consumption

Just wondering what people did thats all, thought I'd present it in a humourous light....

*wasted comedy genious*

To be honest, I've noticed that the car has settled down now a hell of a lot on consumption, does a new VANOS take time to "bed in" or something?

OK : Photographer, Philosopher and commentator on life in general, with technology product management as something which pays the rest of the bills.

Don't know about the VANOS question, who gives a sh*t anyway, just fill her up, and enjoy the ride!

Hell yeah! I don't see why people bother to fill cars ever so carefully to £10.00 (& usually end up with £10.01 :p ) I just fill till it goes click, Optimax all the way

Not had the Zed long, but it didn't take long to find out how bad they are on fuel, forget about the fact and just fill her up and have some fun!

I've never been sad enough to put £10.01p in my motor cos if it goes over £10 I round it up to £15!

I'm a project manager in construction (we can give quotes for enough concrete to bury someone in, if required).

To fund the car(s) thirst for petrol/diesel, I have a wife who's independently wealthy

Whaaaa?

I understand less than half the words in that sentence!

Anyway, I'm a civil engineering technician by trade.
If I were salaried in my line, I'd still be driving my 1982 Escort....
But I'm contract, so I can enjoy my Zed and fill it with Optimax whenever she asks for it!
