Winter weather and winter gas are 2 different things.

He doesn't live in Ireland so why the hell would that be important to him?

So the Ireland fuel companies don't have a different formula during the winter and summer?

Nope, we get the same fuel in winter as in summer. 95 or 98 octane.

Your having a laugh mate :

The euro emissions laws are far more stringent than the US.
We Europeans invented fuel efficiency you know :-)

This is one from 2007, but nuffink has changed since then.

What I was alluding to was the Irish weather, not winter fuel. In Europe, we get the same fuel all year long as the quality is actually better. Google it.

The Yaris is not considered a particularly fuel efficient vehicle over here. It is only average for a European car. Less than average in fact.

I don't understand where people are getting cranky here by the way.
It's only a bit of fun

Dublin.... cool town, did a lil tour of ireland last February with the fiancee. Started in Dublin, went to Kilarney, then to Cork, and Kinsale (sp?) on the southern coast... Kinsale was by far the coolest lil touristy town. I could imagine Dublin being a lot of fun, if I wasn't traveling with the fiancee, We stayed at a hostel in temple bar.... ahaha... that was a bit of a mistake, the fiancee wasn't a big fan of that scene. Would love to go back again, her parents are actually thinking of moving there for two or three years.

OK you dont make any sense. I asked you if there was difference between your winter and summer gas and you said no. Now you are saying that you never said anything about the gas, you were just talking about the weather.
But then in this same quote you go back an repeat your statement about the gas.......You been sniffing your gas tank, mate?
