Hi, had the scoob for a year now and have done the above milage,
any ideas roughly how much ive spent approx????, usually use optimax, i reckon around around £1600 as a est, is this close,
then i can add all other running costs for the year and then cut me throat,lol

Plz dont make me get calculators out:)
Thanks in advance brainy people.

Well, I get £2240 but I'm crap at maths!:D

I took 16000, divided by 25 (rough mpg) which gives you 640 gallons, I think, then times that by 3.50 cos that's what I think a gallon costs, not sure though and can't be arsed converting it to litres:p This brings me to my total of £2240

However much it is, it's far too much and we see feck all back for all the tax we pay on the damn stuff![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Yup - spot on. I worked it out to £2,285.
Thats average tank (50 litres fill up) does about 280miles
16,000 / 280 = 57.1 x £40 (thats what 50 litres Optimax costs me) -= £2,285.

This is what my 16000 costs on Optimax, bit more than you reckon..

average 23.5mpg no matter how I drive (except on the rare occasion I do a long motorway run when I might get 26mpg.. oooooooooo....)

about 78.9p/litre optimax

4.54 litres/gallon

16000/23.5 x 4.54 x .789 = £2438

Damn wish I hadnt done that!!!! £2500, £2500......
and I'm actually doing 18000m a year, £2750 feck!

Makes you wonder why the government discourage fuel in-efficient cars, just think how much tax they can get... By the way that was a joke before some environmentalist comes and sails a Greenpeace Warrior in to this thread....

Trig

At that sort of money I'd be very tempted to convert to gas.
I like the idea of using gas, I think its one of the ways to go, but it seems to have gone quite now, just when pumps seem to be all over the place now.
Cheers.
Ian.

you guys get 20 odd?
i get about 18mpg!

eeek!

weava

One of the best feelings i get in my MY01 is when i have just filled it up and the petrol gauge moves upwards not downwards,pity it doesnt last long before it goes in the other direction.

Zippy

Whats the cheapest price anyone has found for optimax up here it's 76.9

Hi guys, thanks v much for the feedback,
