Scotland 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 SE Santorini Black

They are talking so much crap regarding exchange rates, the dollar has been pretty stable over the last year, if anything the pound has strengthened by 10% over the year, so why has fuel prices not dropped by the same amount! MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged Wink ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!
