Wow, really? That much already?

[FullCircle]

After milling around in the Crouch/Roach for a couple of weeks, and then motoring to Ostend and back a lot, I filled up again Shotley on Tuesday mornig.

I have used 85 quids worth of diesel this year, and its only May!!!

That means 83p a litre with more to come no doubt.

I shall now be readjusting my Gentlemen Dont Beat rule, and lowering my 5 knot motoring threshold to 4 knots.
I may even give some consideration to foul tides, as all this fuel cost is eating into my wine budget.

Used about 15 litres so far this year. That includes running the engine virtually every step of the way to Ostend and four hours or so on the way back. Not that I'm being smug or anything.....

 

[Athene V30]

I have used just under 20 litres so far and that includes motoring back from Calais via Ramsgate.

Still buying red diesel at 53p a litre /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif - we have a tank at work for the fork lifts but it won't last much longer.

Yes it really has got silly. It would now cost me £125 to fill my yacht tank.

In 2006 it used to cost £150 to fill my V8 5 litre petrol power boat!!

Mind you, I could use that up in a day /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Well well well if i remember our VHF conversation in the middle of the north sea when you caught us up you asked could we not go any quicker.
I believe my reply was we could but couldnt afford to perhaps now the wisdom of those words are hitting home.
