Let me try some maths here as I nearly raised vljs point earlier but declined for reasons of insurance/tax costs being unknown etc.
I do 600 miles a week minimum commuting 120 miles a day, usually including farting around in Peterborough running errands etc you can call it 700. Average 4 week month that's 2800 miles. At my 51mpg I am using 54.9 gallons, whereas 55mpg uses 50.9 gallons, exactly 4 less. 4 x 4.54 = 18 litres, which at a pessimistic £1.50 a litre is £27.24. Pro rata that to the 1200 miles you do in the same period equals £11.67 a month. :o
£12 breaks the bank? Pushbike as support vehicle ftmfw!
65 MPG pro-rata is only £34. That's a hell of a payback period when buying an expensive car which will depreciate, whilst the 306 is worth f*ck all!
