    Went to Yorkshire Wildlife Park this morning to do a sponsored run for animals (in this case penguins !) - took one daughter with us and met the other there. Very slow going and queues everywhere!

    Diesel fuel in my zip is now around seven bucks. I'm glad I use petrol.
    I may fill up today, I'm at around 698 miles.

    Haha, I was digging around trying to find out what kind of diesel vehicle a "zip" was. Duh! :D

    I'm glad I was able to stretch this tank out a bit. Pump prices went down, maybe yesterday?
    I didn't drive Monday. Last fill was Sep 14.
    Went to my BP station in Wheaton. Price with BP Visa card discount = $4.249.
    718.1 miles, fcd = 73.6 mpg , 21 miles remaining.
    10.230 gallons, Pump # 7
    718.1/10.23 = 70.2 mpg.
    I have an outing with Kelly tomorrow, so that may be around 50 miles.
