Average £85 a month. So approx £212.50 so far.

With exception of the cost of the car - I did a cost break down and considered insurance, tax, fuel, service/mot, savings for maintenace etc into a daily cost and that cost is cheaper than using public transport!

I've done about 1,000 miles and paid about £150.

In the region of £150-£200. I had a 1.0l Corsa, then I bought a 1.3l Ford KA so it uses slightly more petrol.

about £150 for around 1100 miles, seems like thats more or less the average

I tried that once, insurance and petrol factored in at about £5 a day! Thats including days I wouldn't even use the car. So if you take the days I do use it only then that number would be higher... Didn't even factor in repairs+tax+mot into that equation :s-smilie: my tax is the most expensive bracket and my car has been needing repairs literally every couple of months since I got it.

So it's safe to say I'm making quite a loss, I would take a guess and assume that even taking taxi's everywhere will be cheaper in the long run.
