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.

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.
