i spend about £200 no where near yours but i dont do many miles

davedipster

About 700miles a month in a 03STI PPP
based on 22mpg that's £137/month or £34 a week (3/4tank a week)

You must do 2k miles a month based on my 22mpg!

SCOOBYD00

£200

Not at all grudged

Sideways, the way forward

I do quite a lot if mileage. filling up around 3 times a week @ £40 a tank. Math states 120 per week which means that it comes to around £480 per month. maybe knock off a couple of tanks here and there when i have weekends away and stuff prob brings it to around £400 a month @ least. I am with u matey. I have a P1, have had it 3 1/2 months and covered 7000 miles. i work out i get between 17 and 22 mpg. wish it wouldnt drink so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

fallwood

40 quid and 160 "fun" miles per week. Poor mpg but I just dont care HAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA.

ScoobyAddict

£400 -£500 a month on the scoob (05 STi) but it really IS an everyday car, go pretty much everywhere in it!
And until I run out of money or become 2 old & senile 2 drive, whichever comes first, wll continue 2 admit 2 driving it with absolutely NO regard 4 fuel consumption whatsoever!
Cannot speak 4 Other Half, who frequently questions the need 2 use a 1/4 of a tank of Optimax on the school run & then has the nerve 2 cheerfully thrash it round the lanes at the remotest hint of a challenge, the bl**dy hypocrite!

Focusbird

About £49 to fill up and I do that 3-4 times a month

£1,282.89 so far this year and worth every penny (except the times I have to do the shopping )
Just been keeping an excel spreadsheet on my car cost this year, even down to shampoo for the weekly wash

Hi Folks We spend about £450 a month. However that is running 2 scooby's daily and our petrol is priced 98.9, bit dearer than youy guys in the uk. Small price to pay for having great cars though.

I'm with Minx,

put it this way...

I do around 200 miles/week at £50. this works out to be about 20 mpg. If you buy a black filth powered car (diesel) you might get 35mpg knocking around town going to work etc...

So in 10,000 miles you would have saved around £800 on the year.

Now question comes...

Is your Scooby experiance worth £66/month over that of a rattley nasty old diesel Golf/Astra/307???

THOUGHT SO....

andy99turbo

I spend about £320.00 per month on fuel on my classic turbo

Have just switched to Tesco's 99RON from JS 97RON, fuel consumption has increased from 23mpg to 26mpg over the same type of roads and driving style.

SCOOBYD00

Mine is a daily car, I used to run 2-3 cars... one daily chuffer and a couple of projects*.. realised that the Scooby is a great jack of all trades, trackday, dailycar, family car (I think so @ least ) hence everytime I fill up I remind myself I'm paying for the pleasure and the money I save on constantly chucking money into my garage can be spent on... well... more go faster bits for my scooby.... lol ... doh!!

At least £100 per week, which is why i will be buying myself an ickle 1.1 fiesta, to knowck around in on a day to day basis.


Also i can think of a cheaper way to make your car feel quick on the weekends

theotherphil

According to my last Shell pluspoints statement, I used 173 litres of Optimax in July which works out at approx £160...not too bad considering the thrashing it gets!

g01dmember

£50 to fill up and get just under 200 miles.....220 ish on long journeys..

Fill up every week, bank balance dont like it.....BUT I DO

ru'

£150 a month in tax, regardless of how much my scoob munches! Job's a good 'un!

SCOOBYD00

When I bought my car (two weeks ago!) Drove from Wales to Edinburgh... 420 Miles. Took 5.5 hours and cost me x3 tanks of Optimax @ £48.50 a go...

SCOOBYD00

Yep. Was 98.7 mostly...

Edmondo

£40ish per week.........average about 250 miles on that.........Started using 99Ron and mpg seems to have improved a bit........Got full de-cat so love hearing those bangs so could probably get a bit more mpg if I wasn't having ssssooooo much fun

PRM2000

Between £160 - £230 which gives 1200 - 1800 miles per month

SCOOBYD00

99Ron. Proven 99?

I do 1,600 miles/month (4 wks) - that's around £250/month of Optimax
My MY03 WRX does 300 miles per tank (well per 50 litres as I don't run it dry).

Edmondo

Stuff that Tesco sells.....labelled 99 Ron....arrived in Bristol a week or so ago
