Sure does, including Le Mans 1957...Index de performance...Lotus Engineering winning with 750cc & 59bhp.

Cheers - Richard

P.S. "Guzzoline"? Nice one for the next edition of the O.E.D. :) :)

Mad Max driving the last of the V8 Interceptors beat me to the Guzzoline expression!

Hello Mark, thank you. I'm old enough to know what a F100 was and also old enough to forget !
The current Ford F 150 is what all the complaining is about !
Now I get it.
Sorry for the confusion, just wasn't sure what a F100 was...
Ironically I own zero Fords and two Peugeots, no trucks, just some turbo 505's that can pull trucks outta mud.

I have just come across a piece from the Sunday Times - it takes me all week to wade through the Sunday papers!

Anyway, gist of the story is that petrol is generally cheaper when bought in an oil producing country.

Cheapest places for petrol:

Venezuela - 1.4p
United Arab Emirates - 5p
Saudi Arabia - 9.7p
Libya - 10.4p
Qatar - 11.6p

Most expensive places:

Turkey - ?1.64
Norway - 1.61
Eritrea - ?1.54
Netherlands - ?1.52
Denmark - ?1.48
In 10th place UK - ?1.36
