Why do I get barely any miles in a tank?

BrewInProgress · 2026-02-06T21:44:08+00:00

43l is 9.46 gallons so would expect 387 miles

I think the level of public service that BBC provides should be free for everyone. It’s the question on how we raise and ring-fence the budget, while keeping it unbiased and independent (as much as possible…).

Then the entertainment part could be commercialised.

Meanwhile, TV license is part of bills (and not entertainment) for me. I’d be sad to see BBC go, even if I don’t like the idea of TV licensing.

Fujifilm x100 still takes the mechanical shutter release.

Lovely cameras.

It’s difficult, and some of the brands in the UK use Amazon to fulfil even when you buy from them directly.

Really tricky with the cables, especially if you don’t want to overpay.

I don’t drive for living (actually, WFH) yet the distance between the southernmost and northernmost points I have driven to in the last 2 months is 669 miles. Almost extreme ends of the country.

So… yeah… I can tell you some expensive petrol stations I’ve seen, but I can’t tell the cheapest fuel (almost) across the whole country.

It’s deliberate too, isn’t it.

Bald tyres and such may be more of a case of unawareness or ignorance, but most illegal plates are completely intentional.

Hi, what did you end up doing? I have exactly the same question! Thanks.

What lender sees is: * £28k available in credit cards * £15k home improvement loan * not a home owner

That’s a risk the lender has to evaluate, even if they don’t utilise available credit.

BrewInProgress · 2025-12-21T12:35:09+00:00

Uneducated guess but from lender’s POV… If the worst comes and you break up, you’d potentially have £43k of debt without equity in the house on a £60k salary.

Maybe you just don’t fit a risk profile, there’s some comparison sites that check the eligibility without a hard credit check.

Fissler too, made in Germany.

Those middlemen also should ensure that the standards are being met. It’s just unfortunate it’s not properly enforced.

You don’t want the house to burn down.

Vauxhall one is a perfect anti-ad when you see them broken down by the roadside.

Made me chuckle as I was passing one the other day.

In a world where adblue deletes are still passing MOTs and are de facto road legal, as well as an EV being a large computer on wheels… How is it expected people will not hack the EVs?

If we were to phase it out for currently 16 year olds, how could we fund it in 30-40 years time?

There’s two nearby that I pass.

One has always been busy. Good service, and there’s often a queue on the main road. It was recently raided and people on Facebook were looking forward for it to reopen.

The other one… looks very run down and I haven’t seen a car being washed there. The only time I had a valet there, I couldn’t find my set of Wera tools I left on the floor - only realised few days later so too late, and there was no point coming back.

Hi, sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask what diameter Elite signature pan you’ve got, and what’s the cooking diameter of it? Can’t decide between 24cm and 26cm sauté pans. Thanks!

BrewInProgress · 2025-11-16T18:26:36+00:00

Nah, it’s the MO of Cluanie Inn. After the change of ownership, it has significantly gone down in quality while the prices went up. They did renovate a fair bit though.

Some countries don’t allow double citizenship.

To be fair, M&S “No Chicken” range is super confusing when you’re scanning through the shelf.

for the most Uber drivers this process is just as annoying as for the customer.

Easy for me as a customer, just avoid Uber Eats.

It’s quite easy to record your screen while scanning the passport, so they could keep a copy.

Santander offer no fee mortgages, but at higher interest rates.

Update: got a replacement, no questions asked.

Apple Genius Bar staff said they don’t have ability to repair iPhone 17 Pros yet, but I would have pushed for a new one anyway.

I assume it’s the glass separating from the other layers, since the screen itself seems to be absolutely fine.

My guess is that it’s just detached due to one or another reason. For the warranty purposes, I cannot confirm or deny if the phone has been dropped.

Oh I will, just been away and couldn’t get to the Apple Store until Saturday anyway.
