With prices increasing at the pump just before the Easter long weekend, and now hovering around 1.20/L, you have to wonder what it's going to be like this summer. The fact that this old XJ8 requires premium fuel is another kick in the junk, but honestly, I didn't fall in love with this car because of her fuel efficiency. There is an element of sadness behind this though, because the reality is that the more expensive it becomes to drive, the less I'll be able to do it for fun.
I already have a few brief summer road trips planned, but with prices already 8% higher than they were at this time last year, it's only going to take a few years of that happening for the budget to be stretched. Short of buying a different vehicle, which is a far more expensive proposition, what can you really do but complain about it?
