Umm.. OK, I do three to four tanks a month which is around £160

Thats like 12-13% of my wage.

We share a car, so combined it is 2% on a bad month of our wages on diesel (£40 a month)

Spend £100 a month, but get around £40 back in expenses so about 5% I reckon.

£50 a week, so about 1/4 of my wage!

The rest goes on it anyways, always got things to do with it!

Van - through the business
Corsa - depends how much I drive it! Just fill up when it needs it out the business account.

Don't really draw a wage as such - just spend money from the business when I need it. Only "wage" as such I use is tips etc from customers. Don't draw any money unless I need to if not.

Too much. I get about 240miles per tank out of the VXR. I fill up with V-Power once a week. Costs abot £55 to fill. So I spend about £220 per month on fuel.

So about 12%
