What I want doesn't come into it - I want a small petrol hatch, but thats just not practical at all. What I need is something with lots of room, comfort as I spend a lot of time in the car and mpg as I do about 300 miles a week....before any lesuire milage - people say I dont leave Ipswich, but I ronically I dont even there, its 10/15 miles away depending which shop/bank I'm going to. I could just scrape by on fuel at 65mpg, could probably manage down to about 57mpg average, but 51mpg from 65 is extremely noticeable, I'm having to drive 70miles less every week just to keep the fuel bill the same. But thats just not possible unfortunately, went 50 miles over last week....and I'd taken a day withoiut driving!
As for money, cars are all a waste in the long run, I couldn't give a crap about the long term currently, but I've got savings I could've used to buy a m ore economical, cheaper tax, cheaper insurance car - I wont use those savings on fuel as it seems a waste.
