Think mine is only about £80.00 unless i go further afield, but imagine that is peanuts compared to some of you?
i know it all depends on your net take home and what other committments you have but how do you afford to run the car if putting hundreds in every week? :scared:
-
Mine is £10 now
-
Average of £400 a month for us :laugh:
-
Roughly 2000 miles a month, fortunately I work at the same place as my dad and he foots the bill.

ouch, is that spread over two salaries? even so must make you weep surely?

Yeah, sort of... the missus fills it once a month and i do the other 3 or 4 weeks and any weekend fuel needed, we get through a full tank and a bit just for her commute to work (60 miles a day) :rolleye:
-
Roughly £170 a month unless I do any distance driving. Roughly do a tank every week and a half unless I have a works van then a tank lasts me a month
-
Similar to Nodz, probably about £200 per month for the mk5 GTI, or more depending on whether I drive to the folks which is a 250 mile round trip etc. wife has a diesel kuga and she probably puts in about £180 or so a month standard.
-
Mines about £90pm (work from home)
-
i think if i worked further afield and had to drive it 60 miles a day it would be game over and i would be forced to switch to the devil's fuel :evilgrin:

Yeah it was a bit of a shock coming from our previous A3 2.0TDi, but i nearly fell asleep each time i drove it and you only live once and all that so bought the '30 :happy2:
Must admit it does make me wince when i'm matching my mortgage amount in unleaded each month! :laugh:
-
yeah as much as i look at an m3 or an rs4 avant i think i am kidding myself, as would only be able to use them at weekends as would have to push bike it in the week ha ha
-
was puttin 500quid ish a month in the S3, so bought a brilliant 2002 Bora TDI for work duties which I have become quite attached to and halved the bill. The S3 lives a charmed life now :smiley:
-
Yeah i'd love a Focus RS after trying a mate's Mountune one and would have liked to have run something 6 cylinder for a while but have to be realistic and cap the amount i spend on what is only really my weekend car, Golf R would work though :laugh:

fook me my mortgage is only £434.00 a month!
yeah bet the bora is a good work horse

yeah golf r or s3 sportback more likely options for next car. how much thirstier would a stage 1 rs3 be over a stg2+ eddie?
-
Going through about 170 quid a month. Roughly 45 a week doing around 200 mile mark per week.

my mortgage is 250quid :laugh: so it was really stinging me
-
Fill up every other week so about £120-130 p/m..
-

Probably not 'that' much thirstier if at all i'd have thought? The 2.5 seems reasonably economical for the power imo :happy2:
Just the £40K price tag to overcome first :signLOL:

:jumpmove:
yeah was thinking 2014/15 might be a more reasonable price. the new A25 AMG might be interesting as meant to be more power than the RS3 but only a 4 pot
-
Yeah it's sad that the writing is on the wall for the future of 6 + cylinder cars for the mainstream motoring public but good news that it forces the development of reasonably clean and economical performance stuff, perfect if you do 22K a year like me :happy2:
-
i spend 150ish a month! 30 miles round trip every day to work!

£50-60 a week, not too bad for a S3 doing about 270 - 300 miles a week.

suppose not, still nearly 3k a year though.
i do think though, that as performace car owners, you do learn to cut your cloth accordingly ie we want to run these cars so maybe we cut down on nights out and take our own butties to work instead of going greggs :signLOL:
-
Anywhere between 300-500 quid, at a guess.
I don't sit down and work it out exactly, because if I did it would be on Pistonheads in a few minutes. :-)

oouch, you do over 20k a year in it do you Rich?

Mine isn't too bad, probably about £120 a month. It's the £1500 a month mortgage payment and £1100 nursery fees that are killing me at the moment.
-
probs spend around £150-£200 a month
but i got an all time record for a tank the other week - 420 miles! that's only 20mi less than my old 1.6 A3 managed as it's personal best so considering this has double the power i'm well chuffed.
-
suppose it is all relative to the combined income of your household, if you and your wife have a combined income of 70-80k then is not too much of a concern but combined income of my household aint nowhere near that
-
Filled up 11 times last month :scared:
-

It dosen't count if you only put a £10 in each time :evilgrin:

Haha student petrol days :laugh:
-
I put £70 a week through my cupra r and approx £30 a week in the wife's diesel Leon.
So on a 4 week month £400 and a 5 week month £500
Yes this is much much more than my mortgage but what can you do?
I do 300 miles a week and her car does about 200 miles a week.

3 fills a month on average, so about 210 a month.

That's got to hurt!
Only spend about £100-£150 a month mainly due to being able to walk to work so not too painful. If all I had to pay for was a big fuel bill, would be well chuffed.
Money gets rinsed by my wife's perfume and handbag addiction and 2 daughters, 1 of which is planning her wedding and yes "bank of mum and dad" are involved. You think their expensive when their young!!!!
:signLOL:
-
Luckily for me it depends what I'm doing really as to which car is best suited to use but my fuel bill can be anything from around £150 a month up to around £6/700 but luckily I've started using my diesel a lot more now so it's more around the £150 mark which doesn't eat into my savings that way :)
-
me and the mrs do the same miles every month.
costs her £30
and me £200
:laugh:
-
I was putting in a full tank every week into my gti so I did the obvious thing and bought an r32.... Wait a minute summit not right there lol
-
About 60 a week of diesel,works out I do about 500 miles ish a week, 99% motorway
-
I dont want to think about it - the Wife's car she has only fillted up 3 times in the past year ... I've filled it up about 40 times mind you :confused:
One of those things, we all need it and its expensive - just a shame you dont tend to just 'go for a drive' anymore.
-
just a shame you dont tend to just 'go for a drive' anymore.
Yeah, your right about that. We went out for 'just a drive' round some local countryside couple of weekends ago (with a full tank) and on the way home filled up, £25!
:laugh: :laugh:
-
Makes me laugh when you see younger drivers putting in a fiver .. lucky if you get home on that now.
-
This year I've averaged about £30 a month in my tdi. I work away so it has periods of standing idle.
My mrs has a 1.9 tdi and a £70 fill up just about does her a month.
Plan is to give her my Golf and get myself an ED30 later in the year, as I don't do the miles anymore to justify having a diesel.
Although I have an A1 TFSI as a courtesy car and it's hard getting used to full tank estimates of about 275-300 miles!
-
was puttin 500quid ish a month in the S3, so bought a brilliant 2002 Bora TDI for work duties which I have become quite attached to and halved the bill. The S3 lives a charmed life now :smiley:
I'd love to do this but worried about insurances etc...
Spending about £270/month on fuel + any day/weekend trips away...
-
Full tank every week (just about) so around £240-300/mth.
-
I'm about £140 a month (two tanks).
I get the train into work Mon-Fri and only drive the 5 mins down to the train station (It's a five minute drive but a twenty odd minute walk).
Use the car more at the weekend though :driver:
-
Between 500 to 700 a month, depending on what I'm upto :driver:
