how much is your monthly fuel bill?

[berg]

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  

yeah golf r or s3 sportback more likely options for next car. how much thirstier would a stage 1 rs3 be over a stg2+ eddie?

[glenn_g60]

Going through about 170 quid a month. Roughly 45 a week doing around 200 mile mark per week.

[gazbutS3]

was puttin 500quid ish a month in the S3, so bought a brilliant 2002 Bora TDI for work duties which I have become quite attached to and halved the bill. The S3 lives a charmed life now  

fook me my mortgage is only £434.00 a month!

yeah bet the bora is a good work horse

my mortgage is 250quid   so it was really stinging me

[damoegan]

Fill up every other week so about £120-130 p/m..

Probably not 'that' much thirstier if at all i'd have thought? The 2.5 seems reasonably economical for the power imo 

Just the £40K price tag to overcome first

yeah was thinking 2014/15 might be a more reasonable price. the new A25 AMG might be interesting as meant to be more power than the RS3 but only a 4 pot

Yeah it's sad that the writing is on the wall for the future of 6 + cylinder cars for the mainstream motoring public but good news that it forces the development of reasonably clean and economical performance stuff, perfect if you do 22K a year like me 

[Kregiel]

i spend 150ish a month! 30 miles round trip every day to work!

£50-60 a week, not too bad for a S3 doing about 270 - 300 miles a week.

suppose not, still nearly 3k a year though.

i do think though, that as performace car owners, you do learn to cut your cloth accordingly ie we want to run these cars so maybe we cut down on nights out and take our own butties to work instead of going greggs 

[rich83]

Anywhere between 300-500 quid, at a guess. 

I don't sit down and work it out exactly, because if I did it would be on Pistonheads in a few minutes. :-)

Mine isn't too bad, probably about £120 a month. It's the £1500 a month mortgage payment and £1100 nursery fees that are killing me at the moment.

[sub39h]

probs spend around £150-£200 a month

but i got an all time record for a tank the other week - 420 miles! that's only 20mi less than my old 1.6 A3 managed as it's personal best so considering this has double the power i'm well chuffed.
