About £40 for the petrol and £28 for the diesel.

Or using the mpg I get from my diesel 56mpg would cost £23

what if you add maintenance costs  :laugh:

Next question then  :grin:

I thought it was just the older diesels that required more maintained work

Guessing that isnt the case  :sad:

But then insuring, taxing would be cheaper aswell.

Who me?

Got a new job so be doing 40-50 miles a day now  :smiley:

Seen a few mk5 gt tdi 140 but apparently there not very good on fuel so that's out the question. Looks like It may have to be a 105 1.9 tdi with a remap  :smiley:

Or petrol like a 1.6 tfsi or something.
