I'm trying to make myself feel better about running around in a diesel by telling myself everybody driving fun cars are doing tiny mileages.

So I'll start with 25k miles at 49mpg average (long term average using an app, the car display is always optimistic reading around 55mpg)

With diesel hovering around £1 per litre that gives me an anual fuel bill of £2320 which on reflection seems cheep to what I feel like I'm paying week in week out.

^^ thats probably because when it was £1.40 per litre my bill will have been £3250.

I only do around 8k a year, if that. But I live in a city centre, and work just outside it. 6 miles each way a day, stop start.

Im averaging 30mpg at the minute. Sounds crap in a 1.6t hatchback, but I was doing 20mpg in my old Civic Type R and about 14-15 mpg in my old 5 series under the same conditions.

Motorway use ill get 40 all day long, without driving slowly.

Ran my DB9 as a daily last year. Did 12k in it at 17 MPG.

Now running the S500 which has made it better at 24 MPG, again the same mileage.

My Saab 9-3 1.9tdi does at a guess 50mpg (60mpg+ on a run) and I do around £9k a year in that.

My CLS63 I've owned since August and that's done about 500 miles in total so about 1,000 miles a year at the moment. That does 17mpg or at best 28mpg!

6000 - 10000 miles per year @ 18 - 30mpg in '07 Civic Type R

Depends how I'm driving. Live in nowhere, so not much of motorway or city driving. Just country roads 90% of the time. Depends whats going on in life. My milage over the last few years has got lower, slowly.

Pointless me having a diesel at this mileage. I'd save fk all wobble

5000k a year and never really look at the MPG.

I did however get 340 miles out of a tank this weekend which I was impressed with. All of it motorway miles. Normally get less than 300 out of the 55 litre tank.

If somebody wants to work that out then great.

Car is a MK I Mazda 3 MPS.

Considering if you fill up when the fuel light is on, there's usually about 2 gallons left. Works out about 34mpg. About right for motorway miles in that car

Volvo C70 D5 I do 25k a year at 43.5 MPG.

I'm just at the sort of mileage where it makes enough sense to have a diesel that I'll put up with the compromises. Can't say that I'm happy about it though, and in hindsight I think I'd rather cough up the extra £100 - £150 a month for the petrol.

I was doing 25k miles a year in an M3 and it was £65-75 a week.

I swapped for a 20d X3 and I am only paying.....£55-65 a week.


Yeah, I often do cry myself to sleep. frown

Some intresting responses so far, thanks guys.
Clearly were not all the PH powerfully built directors doing 30k p/a in rs5's.

With the fuel price coming down I'm now questioning driving round in a gutless 1.7 diesel (insurance is also a big factor for me) but if it were to rise back upto the £1.40 mark it would make perfect sense

Z4 -10k/yr, 22mpg
V70 - 10k/yr, 22mpg

I could probably do a lot better in the Z4 if I had restraint (the avg 50mph zones can show 45+ mpg), but life's too short.

I probably couldn't do much better than 25mpg on the V70 though, that's life.
