I worked out it cost me roughly 15p per mile. In my Golf 1.6 (Not GTI)

My fuel gauge has 4 parts. For each quarter it was about £13 worth of petrol (Unleaded)

I have a standard 8 valver, in & around town 27-29 mpg.  Mixed with motorway & rural 32-35 mpg.

My last fill up was on Esso Super UL, once I empty that I'll tell what I get that from it.  :smiley:

He drives it 6 miles!  :rolleyes:
It will certainly be warm by then with stops and starts!

Over short distances I have seen mine as low as 15mpg. But this evens out on a run.
Overall, (6 years) mine is on 32 mpg.

have u never removed ur battery then len??
