How many miles do you do?

That sounds fairly cheap tbh, I was doing about that when I was commuting every day plus the odd cruise/meet. Bit less now I think.

After some quick maths I'm on around £3200 since the back end of May, about £375 a month average. That's only in the Combo though, I've easily put another grand in the other 2 vans I use in that timescale but they're both thirsty.

Those figures for the Combo are down to me doing just over 24000 miles in it since I got it though. On track for around 34k by the time I've had it a year, don't know how that compares with your mileage.

In my last job the fuel bill worked out at about £3000 a year that was based on doing about 400 miles to a full tank, doing an average of 40 miles a day, costing about £105 to fill the tank once every 2 weeks. We had 5 vans running about the same amount and then we were using about £30 a week per van in unleaded for tools.

It all adds up when you calculate how far you go, how many miles you get per tank and the price per litre.

I just filled up £75 and do that every 2 weeks. Sometimes fill up my van with £70 diesel too.

If fuel was cheaper I'd have loads of money to spend on my house and guitars

Usually a tank a week depending how much driving I do, say £40-£50 a week then and home for 3 weeks at a time.
I dont commute to work but end up driving to Aberdeen or Inverness pretty often which is a 120mile round trip. Also back and forth to the dames aswell which is say 30miles round trip.

How do you end up doing so much miles warren if you dont drive to work? Same with needing a diesel

A tank a month usually does me. Important things are within close proximity of me though.
