What's your fuel spend per month?
« on: January 04, 2012, 09:58:12 am »
I know this is different for everybody, but I was just wondering what fuel cost people on here are living with.
As my fuel spend per month is £280 is it time to go to the dark side and get a diesel :s my mpg is around 30

you have to cut your cloth accordingly, i like to think would never have to turn to the darkside but I only work 3 miles from my house.

if circs changed and i had to drive into the city everyday then I daresay the Gti would become too expensive to run. Only you know what your budget is and what your annual mileage is?

On th eplus side if you could stretch to an early MK6 GTD am sure would be a great car to soften the blow with
Diamond Black Pearl Edition 30, still going strong but now back to Stg 1

£70 average per month, averaging 30mpg in the Ed30, only do around 330 miles per month.

I work from home, so most of my mileage is accumulated with visiting friends on jaunts upto manchester, otherwise its just pretty much going to local golf club and back 3 days a week (4 mile round trip)
