Yes, interesting one that. Ten years ago it was about 38p a litre, about half the cost of the mainland!

Yep

We used to pay our road tax separately, depending on the weight of the vehicle. They scrapped that and added extra tax on the fuel, but lately the price has gone mental.

Marine fuel is dyed and available from certain places without the added road tax - get busted with it in your car and it's big trouble!

In that case our motors should use at least 1 litre per mile less than the Dmax 380's!
