Driving around town (London) I get around 35-40mpg so long as it's not stop start traffic. And thats in an Audi A4 Avant with a 1.8 20v (non-turbo) petrol engine.
Diesels make sense on longer journeys, they also aren't as efficient till they've been running for 10-15min, so if you only do short journeys, then it's no better than petrol.

If you can car share, then that sounds like a good option.

Is your insurance for 3rd Party Fire and Theft or fully comp ?

This is true.
I ended up having to sell my GTI cos I couldn't afford to run it and got a £150 Polo to run around in.

my best money saving tip is to put the handbrake on and walk away (or win the lotto)

Think I may be cancelling the insurance next month. 

Then looking out and saving up for a dirt cheap car IF I can save a lot on insurance.

Hopefully a derv Corsa B.

Then let my mum use up the tax on the Golf then I will be trying out my new machine to flip the Golf on it's side and take off all the underseal and re do it.

OK so this (I do need to double check by phoning!) could potentially be a 600 saving on insurance and probably loads in fuel.
