For work,
about £5 per week If I take the Cinquecento
about £15 per week if I take the Saff Ghia
about £3.50 per week when I use the bike.

6 miles each way in rush hour traffic into London.

Rarely go that far out of work so do not really worry.

depending on what i'm doing and where i'm going and how many miles a week i do:

if i drive the car to and from work it costs me about £25 a week to cover the 30 odd miles
if i was driving the van for 6 days i could easily do £60 a day, in the past we were filling up 100 litres a day on some days due to the distances we were covering

but seeing as feul costs have gone up by at least 20% in the last year i'd say i was doing much less mileage, about 40% of what i used to do for work and much much less in the car, did around 1000 miles in it when my hand was fucked and haven't used it other than weekend trip to the supermarket since

Average for me is about 110-120 in my daily driver, and then about 30 quid in one of my weekend cars

So approx 150 quid a week on average.

£10.50 approx a week in my 1.2 8V punto, fill it up once a month at about £43 a time, i really want a nicer car to use as a daily driver but the fuel economy has gotten a tight grip over me and i'm not sure i want anything else that's going to cost me alot more to run.
