    Its kinda missing the point though, there's always a downside.

    OP, how much driving are you doing? I went from 40mpg to 25-30mpg and it hasn't made that much difference (I only do 8000 miles per year). MPG often doesn't matter that much in real life. If I wanted a life devoid of motoring pleasure I'd buy an Octavia 1.9TDI.

    That's the guts of a grand :)
    €20/week, in real life that's a fair bit to many these days.
