What do you spend on petrol?
« 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?

£260-300 on diesel
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

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:
