BMW 540 auto , round town £20 = 45miles but on a run I have seen over 90miles

P38 Range rover 4.6 vogue round town 30 miles if I'm lucky and 50 on a run providing I don't use kickdown and stick below 60mph, it's fucking horrendous .

But , for the money I haven't found anything to equal the BMW for smoothness and power and the rangey is a godsend when we get the snow and we want to go snowboarding or for dragging the jetski's up the beach.

Sorry but if your drive is less than a mile why even do it in a car? And I'm sure you don't need me to tell you starting the thing to drive it a mile in the cold twice every single day isn't great for it no matter how well maintained or built it is if that's all it does day in day out even though I'm sure it does get driven properly.

If you do need a car why not just have a more economical runaround?

i get about 110 miles to 20 quid driving through london,,,,,, LESS on motorways but thats down to driving style,,,

another thing to consider is oil consumption on cars with milage with some engines which sort of adds to running costs aswell as price of road tax and insurance

i prob spend 650 quid a month running a car based on the costings of basic running costs, insurance, tax, parking, fuel

Clio 1.5 diseasal, 250-300 miles to £20 depending on fuel price.

Too cheap to get rid of the bloody thing.

S2000, maybe 80 miles if driven carefully, probably 50 or so if not.

CBR600, anywhere between 220 and 100.

53 plate, TDI Sport Polo (1.9 engine) 160 miles'ish, depends on how i drive it.

you save soooo much money, compared to having a gas guzzler - diesel's have rocketed in price and its easy to see why

There really is some piss poor mpg figures on here lol. 70miles to 20 pounds is roughly 20mpg. In my st170 i get nearly 80miles for 20pounds of fuel hopefully my new lambda will improve this a bit

Mine runs fairly economical, is due a service - and could do with finding out who actually remapped it but i find at 136.9p p/l doing nearly 40mpg is very good.

On the mpg clock in the car it sometimes goes as high as 85mpg but once worked out over a period of time - litres bought - cost litre and mileage this is what came back (using Android MPG calculator)

All town short trips as i only work 3 miles away
