suppose it is all relative to the combined income of your household, if you and your wife have a combined income of 70-80k then is not too much of a concern but combined income of my household aint nowhere near that

I put £70 a week through my cupra r and approx £30 a week in the wife's diesel Leon.
So on a 4 week month £400 and a 5 week month £500
Yes this is much much more than my mortgage but what can you do?
I do 300 miles a week and her car does about 200 miles a week.

That's got to hurt!

Only spend about £100-£150 a month mainly due to being able to walk to work so not too painful. If all I had to pay for was a big fuel bill, would be well chuffed.
Money gets rinsed by my wife's perfume and handbag addiction and 2 daughters, 1 of which is planning her wedding and yes "bank of mum and dad" are involved. You think their expensive when their young!!!!

Luckily for me it depends what I'm doing really as to which car is best suited to use but my fuel bill can be anything from around £150 a month up to around £6/700 but luckily I've started using my diesel a lot more now so it's more around the £150 mark which doesn't eat into my savings that way :)

I dont want to think about it - the Wife's car she has only fillted up 3 times in the past year ... I've filled it up about 40 times mind you  :confused:

One of those things, we all need it and its expensive - just a shame you dont tend to just 'go for a drive' anymore.

Yeah, your right about that. We went out for 'just a drive' round some local countryside couple of weekends ago (with a full tank) and on the way home filled up, £25!

This year I've averaged about £30 a month in my tdi. I work away so it has periods of standing idle.

My mrs has a 1.9 tdi and a £70 fill up just about does her a month.

Plan is to give her my Golf and get myself an ED30 later in the year, as I don't do the miles anymore to justify having a diesel.
Although I have an A1 TFSI as a courtesy car and it's hard getting used to full tank estimates of about 275-300 miles!
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
