how much is your monthly fuel bill?
« on: May 21, 2012, 08:35:09 pm »
Think mine is only about £80.00 unless i go further afield, but imagine that is peanuts compared to some of you?  

i know it all depends on your net take home and what other committments you have but how do you afford to run the car if putting hundreds in every week?  :scared:

Roughly 2000 miles a month, fortunately I work at the same place as my dad and he foots the bill.

Yeah, sort of... the missus fills it once a month and i do the other 3 or 4 weeks and any weekend fuel needed, we get through a full tank and a bit just for her commute to work (60 miles a day)  :rolleye:

Roughly £170 a month unless I do any distance driving. Roughly do a tank every week and a half unless I have a works van then a tank lasts me a month

Similar to Nodz, probably about £200 per month for the mk5 GTI, or more depending on whether I drive to the folks which is a 250 mile round trip etc. wife has a diesel kuga and she probably puts in about £180 or so a month standard.

i think if i worked further afield and had to drive it 60 miles a day it would be game over and i would be forced to switch to the devil's fuel  :evilgrin:

Yeah it was a bit of a shock coming from our previous A3 2.0TDi, but i nearly fell asleep each time i drove it and you only live once and all that so bought the '30  :happy2:

Must admit it does make me wince when i'm matching my mortgage amount in unleaded each month!  :laugh:

Yeah i'd love a Focus RS after trying a mate's Mountune one and would have liked to have run something 6 cylinder for a while but have to be realistic and cap the amount i spend on what is only really my weekend car, Golf R would work though  :laugh:
