used to be bugger all, around £150 a month. i can see my work from my window so only ever drove to the gym and supermarket (i don't have time for friends atm  :sad1:)

BUT i've just started going out with someone and she lives quite far away so the trips to see her will soon increase my tally no doubt lol

I'm only home 2 weeks of each month.
Usually need to fill her up twice so cost monthly roughly £150.

I usually fill up every 7-10 days but depends on driving style. If I were strict enough and stuck to 60mph on motorways and A-roads, reckon I could go almost two weeks without filling up.

At the mo, it's around £280 worse case scenario.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

£350 per month average - though the last quarter has been a heavy one - got a nice fat V Power voucher for just under £20 though  :happy2:

Was doing £50 of Tesco Momentum doing circa 240 miles a week average (4x£50 = £200 a month).

Recently started using full tanks @ £73 or so and pushing 400 miles brim to brim from a tank of mixed driving, which results in filling up every 12 days or so which I think will work out cheaper, despite spending more in one go and driving a little longer with the extra weight etc...

It's a massive play off at the moment and will only get worse and ever more present on peoples minds I'm sure :stupid:

On average I cover around 1100 miles per month.

With my ED30 it used to cost me around £250 per month.
I then moved to the dark side and now spend around £120 per month, covering the same miles.

Drive isn't the same, but I'm happier knowing how much I'm saving, not just with the fuel, but with the tax, insurance, and so on.

One day I'll buy a M3 as a weekend car though   :wink:

Around £150-£200 a month.

The Polo GTI saves a bit with it's better fuel consumption, but I only have to do 4.5miles to get to work too.  :smiley:

Normally between £230 and £280 a month in the ED30, thinking of going to a nice Audi A4 TDI to save on fuel in the future!

Yep at least 3 tanks a week of V Power at £64 a tank.
