Do an oil burner then, no higher insurance than a 1.4 and yet you can push 160+ out of em... just don't tell her you tuned it and she can't knowingly lie to the insurance.

Personally, I'd probably go down the T-series Turbo route, but she'd probably wrap it on the first bend she hit. Mate did it, pretty straightforward swap as the mounts are the same as the L-Series, shifts like the shit, faster than a Tomcat, but... it handles like a fish on the corners so ya gotta watch out lol.

Put petrol up to £3.00 a litre and prosecute middle lane motorway hoggers. Us beemer owners are wrecking our engines dawdling along at 95mph just coz some [censored] in a honda civic wont get out of the way.

The argument I've heard that the balance of refining capacity in the UK is biased towards petrol whereas we use more diesel no so this has to be imported (adding to the cost). The huge cost of building refineries suggests that we're unlikley to see much capacity added in the UK naytime soon either

AR,regarding refineries,I've been in the business,erecting new storage tanks and repairing old storage tanks in the UK,N.Ireland,S.Ireland, for the last 36 years.I can assure you this country has more than enough capacity for refining and storing oil and petrol.

Without going into too much detail,when they "crack" crude oil,there are different products taken from the crude at different temperatures..petrol,diesel,kerosene etc.... diesel is not imported into this country at all.the crude oil is refined in grangemouth,teeside,stanlow,pembroke/milford and coryton. SIRTANKWELDER is the name STORAGE TANKS is the game !

Oh yes ,one more thing ....it is CHEAPER to produce diesel than it is petrol,petrol needs more refining than diesel ,so work that one out ? yes, you guessed it ,the GOVERNMENT are ripping you off .

What has the government go to do with the price of diesel? Have you bothered to check the levels of fuel duty lately?? Both fuels are taxed at 58p per litre iirc.
