How do you afford the petrol for the GTI??
« on: February 28, 2011, 12:12:56 pm »
Hi all, well after my first week I have spent £100 pound worth of fuel... :scared: I do about 45 miles per day. On my last car vectra 1.9TDI I spent £70 every 2 weeks so its quite a jump! I was just wondering how you guys/gals afford the fuel every week?? Does anyone do these type of miles? Is there anyway to reduce this cost? Thanks a lot

get yourself classed as a 'homeworker' with the company you work for so all mileage goes through expenses  :smiley:
