Still it's not a deal breaker as such

VW were way down the list. My C-HR from Toyota is based on a Lexus in much of its Technology, and the Hybrid stuff and platform, the same as a Prius.Quote:

I not only like the fuel [see link below], but they're one of the few fuel companies still to offer a cash-off reward scheme (500 points = £5 fuel voucher), rather than bollox such a Nectar points, which aren't much use to us, as there's rarely anything of great interest to redeem them against.
Gives the Brabster plenty of 'vrooom':D: https://texaco.co.uk/motorists/our-motor-fuels
