I do still do the odd long journey, did a 45 mile round trip yesterday.
Watch it - you'll be wearing those roads out !
Surely for a 1st car, Insurance is likely to be the major cost per mile at that level of usage ?0 -

I mean in terms of giving the car a run to heat up properlyinfact I think it was longer as I had more errands to run.

ok fair enough to clarify a few bits its a 1.6 and it will be just local around town, work and back (only 2 miles away) except for weekly hospital visits. I don't know mileage as ive never drove before.
Have you thought of getting a bike or small scooter and using the considerable money saved for fun things like holidays?0
