Some interesting figures about my petrol consumption over the last three years.
Figures are from June to May
Year Miles Litres MPG Cost Av p/mile Av p/ltr
07-08 8,828 1136 35.31 £1121 12.7 98.64
06-07 12,150 1523 36.25 £1386 11.4 88.20
05-06 6,000 892 30.30 £ 826 13.6 88.25
The next time you use the car to 'pop out for a paper' add about 13p to the price of the paper for every mile you are from the shop. Same applies to the school run. These costs do not include wear and tear, tyres etc.
