Yes you should feel guilty! (lol)
We don't have it that easy over this side of the Pond and Sacrifices have to be made in order for me to run one.
So no expensive Cups of Coffee Latte for the GF
Two Cups of that is almost enough to buy a Gallon of Petrol!

i heard about the $10.00 per barrel tax he wants to add on. Here in Pennsylvania, our last outgoing Republican Governor tacked on a 10 cent per gallon tax to go into effect every January for 4 years (I think). Politicians just never have enough. ever. They enjoy it when the price to us is low cause that's when they can best get away with adding on more taxes.

the plan I had was too...
1) pay it off quick...
2) save up $3000
3) buy the natural GAS fuel injection kit
4) buy CNG tanks...
5) buy CNG at 2.05 a Gallon =
but now that would not be cost effective...

here it is a stable 2.05 per = gallon of gas
Operating Pressure:
3,600 PSI, 4 fast fill hoses
I do not know how the UK views CNG and how the UK prices it over there...
93 Octane this morning on the way to work was 2.259 / gallon
I found this INFO on the UK and CNG
BEGIN QUOTE:
You will find the UK a CNG desert. Crewe is account only and the others are closed to the public. Say CNG to anyone in the UK and they will think you are talking about LPG. CNG in the UK does not really exist. For LNG you will find 5-6 filling stations but again account only.
Gasrec’s station at the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) adjacent to J18 on the M1 is the only plaace to get CNG in the UK open access but when I tried, and was to be account only soon
END QUOTE:
MAN that is AWFUL !!! no choices?
found one/:\
City: Wincanton
Address: Gould�s House Horsington Wincanton Somerset BA8 0EW
Phone: +44 (0) 7466 600 401

Just three more days to go and I will be reunited with the love of my life. I garaged her five months ago and went South. I can't wait to slowly strip her down of her garments, fondle the steering wheel, mumble little praises, tell her how much I have missed her while admiring her beauty.I don't care what Sigmund Freud says about me.

My first day working on the car...
Today changed oil & filter and started checking "inspection-worthiness"... tried wipers and windshield washer - didn't work. Ended up taking apart the whole wiper thing down to motor. Cleaned, greased... wipers are working slow and fast but intermittent still don't work, they move just a little as relay clicks(relay works!). That little switch under worm gear must be bad... water pump is dead(draws a lot of current but does not pump) - ordered new one from amazon(8-6708). Unfortunately new pump will not work because when I press button for water - there is no power at the water pump connector (connected control lamp into the connector but it doesn't light up... hope it is some fuse, not the switch on the steering column.. ).

Well then! After my XJ8 has received all TLC it needed (and hopefully should need for a while!) I can now move back to my fun car... My XJ-S! Finally, after 18 months of neglection (yes, I couldn't work on her, as my crash in my former XJ6 caused my back to chronically hurt... That has finally past!) I was able to dig it out of around 5m³ of leaves and ***** and was able to give her the wash she really needed!
Apart from some tiny little rust spots which will be no worry to replace, the "fresh air storage" has been okay. I can't really see much at the front but it still looks okay. So, I will be getting her up and running again - hopefully - quite soon![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
A small before:

And a quick after:

Expect to see and hopefully soon HEAR more of my Iron Lady! She seemed to have waited well for me. Rusty (my XJ8) wouldn't have held that well!
