You would have got considerably more if you had it in gear.

you may say £6 a week aint much, but i filled up my CTR 3 mnths ago at 115.9, yesterday it was 125.9, 10p per litre an extra £4.50 a week....

when it was 115.9 we said o, £5 aint much per week....so all in all, since summer an extra £10 to fill up a tank each week.

When it comes to £1.35 a litre, you going to say o well another £5 a week aint much? equating approx to an extra £15 a fill up since summer 2010

Price of fuel has gone up about 4 pence...

but I got a 4k pay rise and now get to work from home more often - so it's all swings and roundabouts.

when i had my Octavia diesel last winter cost me £75 to fill up and was doing around 40mpg.

My new ibiza is doing around 36mpg around town, car is faster, cheaper to tax, cheaper to insure than the octavia

petrol around here is about 131.9 atm
diesel is around 135.9.

I'm beginning to see it eat a bit more of my wage a month. Have to wait till April for my payrise which may just about cover in the increase in the cost of fuel a year. Public sector

£57 for a full tank, get anything between 450-500 miles out of that

Sold the corsa as it was shit
Bought a Golf 53 gt tdi 130bhp and im chuffed with it!
Get about 680 from my 50l tank which is £65 to fill empty to brim. So average mpg is 50 but i can get between 65-69 mpg from the golf.
Quick calculation thats about 930 miles to a tank on 69mpg! I know that would be impossible on mine due to traffic but my gf's 1.5tdi clio 08 does an average of 64mpg every where
