wtf ?
im to drunk to do the maths
but 30ppm is way way off !

edit:

petrol at 90p/liter
aprox 5 liters in a gallon so Ã,£4.50 a gallon
at 45mpg thats 10p/mile ?
at 23mpg thats 20p/mile ?
at 11mpg thats 40p/mile ?

its about 15mpg for 30p/mile ?

SCREW THAT !

were going to need something a bit more echonomical !

why not get a diesel ?

doesent drink it so bad when your caining it

soubor now, and the maths look ok ?

we should get a diesel... my diesel 2.5l straight six used to get 18mpg at 130mpg.... 45+mpg was easy at 70mph

rough guess it was about 35mpg at 100mph.... which would more than half the fule cost ?

I dont think the diesel engines for cars of Ã,£200 are any better at economy than their petrol brothers.

Although what car did you have in mind ?

Im checking out the Volvo TDs

Forgot to say, I have looked at a few diesels, but they didnt seem right.

Hmm, I just realised we could use used chip oil possibly... as well as normal diesel if we got a diesel.

cheaper fuel across the water anyway

From what Ive heard its not that cheaper, suppose it would be noticeable over a 2000 mile journey.

What about this guys?

Ive been offered a FREE Volvo!

So in about 3 - 4 weeks Ill be going to get that one way or another.

It does need some work and the guy will be using the interior from the car he is giving me and swapping it with his old interior, which is good as 1. I dont like leather and 2 I was going to re-upholster the interior in the car with Fur and Velvet, black and puprle

I know its a 700 Series Turbo, so either 2.0L or 2.3L.
Either way... If its a 2.3, it might be to much for petrol, but its free so

We need a 4th for this rally! Do any of you guys or girls want to come along?!

OMGMGMGMGMG! Its going to be chavtastic! :puke:

Love the idea of grim colours (though I vote turquoise and purple with pink flashes! Early-90s ski overall colours for teh win!) Less in love with the idea of sitting in a baking car on velvet and fur... Though maybe its preferable to sticky leather...

...so who wants to be our fourth, then? Come on!

If you could see into my mind, then youd be wrong!

And also be very disturbed at the things youd see in my mind. But we need a 4th!

Ive got enough disturbed things in my mind thanks. I have had a lot longer to gather them and they are probably worse than yours

Will let you get on with what you are trying, you dont want a driver who goes instantly absent at the wheel without going to sleep...

Very tempted. I did enter a team but was too late so am shortlisted for next event. Not sure I can afford to now or get time off work.

We are planning on camping places, 1. For adventure and 2. to keep the cost down. So it wont be a great deal for accomodation.
