Hence my recent thread regarding getting a diesel runaround and retiring the Scooby to occasional use... A bit late to think of it some might say!

I,ll be Honest Baron for that amount of Miles, ie Salemen Miles, id get a 2nd Diesal m8. I also use mine for work, but work pay for my fuel soon as i step out the door, ive done about 8500 since last November.

I hope you can claim it back ?

Had my WRX since May and it is thirsty! I budgeted quite happily for this before I got it and worked out the mad car tax amount and insurance (which wasn't as bad as I thought).

However I seem to spend more than budgeted for as I tend to drive my scooby more than I need to because I enjoy driving it so much!

Im shocked at how much you spend, my ibiza turbo uses more than some of you lot on average.

Another +1 for LPG conversions. I just did one for ***** and giggles and made a project thread out of it here https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...kunkworks.html It's perfect for the daily commute (I get my proper kicks from my classic 2.5 STI).

It's also in the for sale section!!
