Title: What do you spend on petrol?
Post by: Ant1981 on 04 July 2011, 19:46
I've been thinking lately of ways to save money, as in particular I want to take the lady somewhere nice and get a Mk5. Now I've just had a little look and I've been spending £400 a month on petrol, eeeek!  :shocked:

What's it costing you guys?

It's mostly pleasure miles I reckon, as work isn't much at all really.

Maybe my Mk5 should be a deisel. It's a shame that the only Mk5 I can stand the look of is the GTi  :sad:

£40 to £60 a month is about all I spend.

I tend to cycle most of my miles :smiley:

And I've sold the Corvette and hardly used the bike, so it's only the Golf to blame  :grin:

Could do what _Adam_ in the MK5 section has done and fit a GTI front end to his GT TDI; he's left off the GTI badge mind  :wink:

According to my bank's super money tracking system I only spent £28 on fuel last month :laugh:












Only because I brimmed the 70L tank on the last day of May and drove like a granny everywhere, must have put that £28 in then that lasted me till Saturday when I was just above the red :grin:

My average is only £53 :huh:

I spend about €70 a week in the 1.4 mk5. The €70 will usually last a work week and two trips to the city with a little left over. If I be boring and just commute to work and back the €70 lasts maybe 7ish work days.

Around £200 a month for commuting and around town etc. If I go up to Bristol to see the family its obviously another full tank there and back and driving around that w.end. Only do it about once every 6-8 weeks though.
