If fuel consumption is so much more my next car (I have already 5000 km on this one  :laugh:) within 4 years will most certainly NOT be an "R"
since the lease company charges huge amounts for fuel :smug:.....see I finally found myself a (the only) valid reason...I cannot afford it... :grin:

I feel a good re-think will be necessary regarding this when we all change in approx 3 years time.
On some days I get 6-9 mpg in London for an average speed of 6 mph. :sick:
It will have to be a diesel at this rate.

I am with you on the 'real' buying costs, but not for the seats. :smiley: 
They will suffer the same problems my cousin has with his skoda Vrs seats due to the white'ish bits. They will be fine if you wear a dress  :evil:

Blue Jeans are very damaging to both cloth and leather seats, IMO.

I think a push bike might be a more sensible idea.

Not quite, as it is pretty dangerous in the 'BIG Smoke'.
I know exactly which my next car will be. :wink: :smiley:

You want to forget a remap if fuel consumption is your problem.....the lease co wanted to charge me 20 euro extra each month...despite all the claims that it runs cheaper... :smiley:

I must admit that fuel when driving fast is costly... :lipsrsealed:

I can live with my present situation and that is an understatement... :cool:
