very fair comment!
I have a fixed 50mile round trip commute every day, so I know what my "baseload" petrol consumption will be..
However, the price can vary month to month, and thats where it catches you!
that said, Its still only a difference of £8 per month for me (1250 miles at 39.6 imp mpg (assuming low of £1.299/litre and high of £1.359 high) so its not huge
