Fuel to run

What's that you say? "It's time to give something back".

There's only so much sniping about other cars and drivers one can do before it turns you into a bitter cynical wreck. The bad news is I passed that point a while back.

But the good bit is my new endeavour to catalogue, record and share the very best and worst automotive fuel based retail opportunities worldwide. Visit PitStop and you can share your reviews of the best and worst petrol stations.

And let's face it - it's probably less to do with whether they sell Optimax and have an airline than "is the beer cold and can I purchase an emergency gift that isn't branded by an oil company".

The next time you need some crumpled flowers and a bottle of Calpol, you'll thank me.
