Our new Renault

Picked up our new car on Monday. Can you believe they didn’t fill the fuel tank up with gazol for us before we drove away. I was absolutely doing my block about it. Andrew as usual was relaxed. I wanted to ring Renault and ask if it was normal practice in France to buy a car and drive away with an empty tank but Andrew reminded me that I couldn’t speak French and how was I going to say all that in French. They wouldn’t know what I was going on about. Nevertheless I am still stewing about it days later. Considering diesel is 1.30 euros a litre (about $2.60 AU) it’s about 50 euros to fill up a tank which is $100 in real money.
