Hi

It must be true , our literacy standards are dropping.

I'm an engineer and my english is shocking but that is a piss poor effort in sentence structure..

Yor? Haha

Come on!!!

If you must know , yeah its bloody expensive so that's why I got a Bicycle.
Petrol prices won't come down , and remember we only have 30 years of the stuff to enjoy. Prices will only go up, not down. .

Cost of living here sucks. That's why I'm going to the UK later this year to earn the big bucks.

Come back in 2 - 3 years , lay a fat deposit on a house. So why stay in NZ and get paid peanuts to run a car or save for a deposit on a house.

Yep, fuel prices suck, but I'm going to make the most of it while I can. I reckon we only have a few years before the cost will be too much for ordinary people to buy.

It cost me $57 to fill my car the other day.

It typically costs about $54.

Enough. Is. Enough.

Now it's personal....

Tell me about it. Lovely car, but i filled up its lovely 78L tank which had 4L left in it (love the fuel readout), and it cost me $105.

Mind you, that lasts me just over 2 weeks
