I worked out this morning what it costs me to drive to work and back each day and it made me wince a bit. My car is basically only used for commuting...
60 miles @ ~24p/mile (25mpg using £1.33 SUL) = £14.40
Insurance @ £500pa = ~£2
Tax @ £245pa = ~£1
~£17 a day ... OUCH
The worst bit is that even if I was driving a 40mpg diesel it would still cost me ~£12 a day.
This of course doesn't include the cost of tyres / servicing etc ...
I love cars
