    Well if you work five days a week and don't take holiday 520 are to and from work.

    I do not mean to be rude at all, but do you not read? I don't always work late and do walk to work heh..

    I may of wrongly calculated that haha.
    Probably about 4,000? Meh I don't know. Somewhere in the middle :P

    Don't worry about it. I surprised myself on my cars last MOT when I noticed 3,900 miles between them. I had the split second, buy something silly moment.

    I still remember when my SiL was getting insurance quotes for her first car estimating 1000 miles a year. :rotfl:

    I always say my estimated mileage is 10,000 miles a year, to be safe :P my quotes don't seem to change if I say lower :P


    Anyway I am glad I have been slightly reassured. Last winter I was so nervous about driving I didn't notice the fuel! I still only fill up around once every 5 weeks so it shouldn't cost too much more :)

    I know but if you do 2000-4000 miles a year and 500 you don't mainly use it for work. You're killing your car.

    OMG!! :rotfl: please explain?? :P


    And I may be 'killing' my car..but I know my driving style doesn't do it any good. It works fine for me and I only bought it for a run around car anyway :). I am not getting into that debate :P

    I Will always follow advice from the manual or the Tyre fitting place I go to. If roads are too icy, I just won't drive. Work is a 10minute walk away, I would rather fall on my bottom than crash my car :P
    If work is only a 10 minute walk away then why are you not walking everyday.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
