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)

I was spending £6-700 a month up until recently. E500 has been sold and I have bought a diesel X-Trail.
Glad I'm not alone in the spend, shame you sold yourself to the devil though smile

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)

6,000 miles per year in the Porsche - about 1800 plus various hires/ GF's car for when that car won't do - say another 500-700 quid. Call it 2.5k for cash.
In fairness to drive a Porky that seems good, albeit only 6k per year

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.
