So you saving £12 a day on petrol.

However you have to tax (170 per year), insure (200-300ish?) and run (£250est) another car. I wonder how long it will be before you see a payback?

Clearly you'll save a small amount of depreciation due to miles on your Subaru.

ok

170+200+350 = 720 thats not including fuel divide by 12 = £60 a month

add fuel of 120 a month thats £180 plus i will be running 30/70 veg oil later.

scooby is costing around £340 in fuel just for work and i was at least 14,000 miles a year on scooby.

so im saving £160 a month and not putting stupid miles on my pride and joy
