Just looking at my bank accounts online. I'm spending daft money on fuel, about 60% of my transactions are diesel. Shocking how keeping a car on the road is so financially draining!

Ahh shut up :pac:

Honestly what do you think the weather is like :P Today was non stop rain, couldn't even do anything outside, had great outdoor plans with my time off. Now it's gone mad windy, bits of debris on the roads. Nothing great to report until the weekend, supposed to pick up then.

I would spend anywhere from 25-45 euro a week in diesel. Infairness most of its trip involve ferrying me up and down to cork. From when I get back I'm going to get into the habit of filling it every week and keeping track of my mpg using Fuelly for the summer just to see. I've got into a bad habit of just throwing 30-40 euro into it every week or so. I think it's better practice to just keep it full and just top it up every week.

Yep, yep. Nonstop rain and awful windy today.

I'd take one car during the week and use the other at the weekends, but I'd alternate between the two, so difficult to keep track. Depends on what I'm at, but combined it could range anything between 5/600 miles per week. That's what, about 900km?

Foxhole Norman

I'm usually putting in between €60/70 for 200 miles :pac:

Id do 500-700 km a week generally although the last few months it's been closer to 500km.

For summer placement my commute will be around 250km a week and then a bit of driving during evening and weekend I'll be doing well to do 400-500km a week.

Well I've to pay a few things, like getting the manifold sorted out, bills and the like, after all that im looking at a top stut brace, 330mm drilled and grooved front discs with redstuff pads, new rear discs, the other wishbone, a few little badges and stuff, get the 900 tracked and two new front tires, a few tools and new wipers for the two of them, might as well use the ol staff discount for something!
