[Shady]

Unless you're a new driver, then you just get raped by insurance lol.

Spitroasted.

i recently passed me test and iam not getting a car yet , fking rip off insurance and petrol.

i work 5mins down road walking so fk it :P

 

[Robert]

Haha oh jealy...

Man its going to be huge problem. Taxi prices will double as will bus services. In the end people wont want to use a taxi so they will all close and the buses are already entering administration. Its a sad time to be a motorist.

Knock on effect for pubs & clubs?

People catching the last bus home meaning less people out in town...

I'd go back to drinking local and been able to walk home if the area wasn't such a **** hole.

 

[MentaL]

Never thought of that.

 

[FUTURA]

I got a 2.3....****, better dust of the bike

 

[DeathsDoor]

makes me happy knowing i pay equivalent to 60p a litre here in iraq

 

[-Luke-]

60p a litre you lucky bugger =P In dubai at a service station it cost more to buy a throw away camera than it did to fill up the ford focus up from near on empty.. oil kings.

Anyone wanna buy some red ? =P

 

[T0MMY]

Whats the ins in iraq.

Cost me around £45-£50 to fill my fiesta up. Great on fuel but I wont be happy if it goes up to £2 per litre.

Hello push bike.

ouch for saying buses use diesel and they get 3-4x more MPG then a petrol would what a joke cost me £70 to fill my car up this morning of petrol

I got a 1.1 Ford Focus, seems to be pretty nice on Petrol for me, £40 gets me 15-20 miles a day for a week (Roughly)...bearing in mind this is me driving incredibly sensibly and at the highest gear the car likes lol...i use to drive crazy but it just drained my tank

Considering to fork out the extra amount to learn how to ride a Motorbike as they seem to be cheap to run according to my mates lol...at least in comparison to a Car...plus no traffic :P

 

[MentaL]

Getting 70miles per tenner with my honda civic atm.

A 1.1 Focus? I'm guessing you mean Fiesta?

My 1.8 Focus drinks petrol like it's water. I want to get a diesel asap.

Don't bother as the cost of Diesel to the cost of petrol, works out the same in MPG.

 

[Skyline]

I got about 120ish miles for £30 in my Golf.

Getting worse and worse.

Depends what MPG you get from the car. Some are a lot better than others.

I have a 1.7 Dti and my mate has the equivalent on a 1.6, I get less diesel at 1.45pl and he gets 1.36pl to £10 in order for me to get the same pl as him I have to put in £13 at which I get more MPG, but I certainly don't at the same cost and my engine is in better condition that his as well.

I'm sorry what? lol

Do you know what MPG you get in your car though?

 

[mapadale]

Yes I do and I also know what my mate gets as well, this is why we were able to test this and yes we did test this. I get less pl compared to him, as I pay more on Diesel, but the comparison at the same cost was the same as I got less diesel. I have to pay more for diesel to get more MPG if I matched him on pl and not price, then yes I do get more MPG.

Break down of it:

Petrol
£1.36pl = 7.3l at £10

Diesel
£1.45pl = 6.8l at £10

Tai if you can't work out from that, that you have to pay more to get more MPG in a diesel than petrol, then don't bother getting a diesel as at the moment it does cost more.

The only benefit I get at the moment from owning a diesel, is the cheap road tax due to low CO2

All I asked is what MPG you get, so I can compare it to what I got in my last diesel and also other cars.
