HOW MUCH WOULD I SAVE ???

GusGus

Hi. I drive a volvo 1.8 F ( petrol) . I do about 21/22000 miles a year. I just find that i spend so much time filling the car up and wel economy aint the best.

Based on changing to a 1.9 diesel has anyone any idea how much i could save over a year on fuel.

I guess im wondering is it worth trading up ...

Any help would be appreciated:D:D

I drive a BMW E30 318is which isn't bad on petrol at all (37-38 mpg on average) and I worked out that a diesel would need to do 45mpg to match the running costs. This was about 8 months ago when diesel cost about 10 cents per litre more than petrol. I must recalculate that now since the price difference has been reversed

With 22k miles and 28MPG for the petrol and 43MPG for the diesel and petrol and diesel prices at €1.10 and €1.00 respectively, you'll save €1,600 per year in fuel. That's little money.

To trade up to a diesel will cost you big money
