How much do you spend on fuel?

I just got a note saying I spent £6974 on fuel last year for 1 car (FFRR) and I did less than 15k miles
Kind of woke me up to think that is too much and I just hadn't realised what I was spending. It all adds up!
How much do you spend? (ideally more so I can justify it to the Mrs)
Is there a hole in the tank? Kind of woke me up to think that is too much and I just hadn't realised what I was spending. It all adds up!

Early indications are that I'm screwed and the Mrs should not see this thread!
Good on you guys and hopefully I should join you as the RR is on it's way out....for a Defender (25 MPG on Diesel as opposed to 15 MPG for Petrol)
If it's any consolation I only get 16mpg round town out of a Mondeo. Good on you guys and hopefully I should join you as the RR is on it's way out....for a Defender (25 MPG on Diesel as opposed to 15 MPG for Petrol)

I recently replaced my aging BMW FFRR for a Supercharged Sport and have discovered my Aston V8 Vantage gets superior mpg. So I use that as a daily and garage the L320.

Man maths say no! What on earth are you doing to the poor thing???!!! Can't see you for dust Claimed "Urban" mpg is only 20.8 and that will be breathing on the throttle rather than pressing it! I don't speed but I do accelerate hard up to 30/40 limits.
Downside to a Turbocharged 2.5l inline-5 petrol in a heavy car.
Just stopped commuting from Chelmsford to Milton Keynes every day in a varied selection of VWG's finest. It varied between £6-700 for 4wd petrol-powered TTs and £450 a month for 1.4-litre petrol A3s.
So easily £7k a year I reckon. Erk.

My pug 208 (1.2 petrol NA straight 3) does 400 miles on £50 so that lasts me 2-3 weeks depending on work. My range rover sport (4.2 petrol supercharged v8) will do about 250 miles on £100 which lasts 3-4 weeks.
Overall I must spend around £2500-£3000 a year so quite a bit less than the op.
