My daughters just bought the new 1.3 zetec.

She looked at the lcd display & saw she was only getting 30 something mpg, not great in a ka
:eek:

Told her she should have got a gas guzzler like me:rotfl:

heavy right foot? the lcd display isnt the greatest to be honest, i have it in my tranny and its not the most accurate, try it the old fashioned way and see if it works out any better.:p

She had only had it a couple of days.

Maybe new drivers use more fuel?

does the op weigh a lot? if so they could be driving up the costs of this great value trip they are getting at the expense of someone elses car depreciation!!

Learn to drive, buy a car, tax it, insure it, MOT it, pay for repairs, service it, fuel it and then just take week about.
That way it'll be straight down the middle.

I agree with the others c£9.50 per day for a 126 mile round trip seems a good deal.

Yep, see how much the same journey is on the train :money:

Lol great value trip?!! It's about £50 more to use the train, It's hardly at the expense of someone elses car depreciation. They have to make the trip regardless of whether I'm in the car so you're talking nonsense!

So you are getting a reasonable deal. You are both better off via the arrangement and I assume you get a door to door service.

And the train would still run if you didn't use it, but that doesn't entitle you to free rail travel.

It's fair to pay half the costs for such a long trip, irrespective of other costs. If you don't agree with it then get the train!
