You Keep the GTI, drive it on the flat bits, push it up the hills then free wheel down the other side!!!

It would take you a while to get too and from wrok, but you would save a fortune  :grin: :grin: :grin:

buying a 2nd car i.e. diesel runabout will never cost in !!

best case it will be £2k a year cheaper on fuel...from this saving you need to take away

insurance - £400 ??
tax - £120 ???
deprecation - £2k ???
maintenance - £1k ??
griminess of driving a diesel oil burner when you have a GTI at home - priceless ??? :laugh:

put the miles on the GTI (you are being paid to do it) or sell it and buy a run about ...dont keep both ....
