Seems to be complete nonse to me. Fuels is not every ones biggest expense as in most case the devaluation of the car is much higher. Lost interest after that!

Sounds cheap to me - £3000 per annum all in? Fantastic value compared with all other modes of motorised transport, most of which isn't there where you want it and doesn't go where you eventually want to be.

It would be even cheaper if we didn't subsidise those who travel with very small amounts of baggage on anachronistic rail coaches - often able to claim their ticket costs from someone else - and that someone else is often HMG - who gets it back from the motorist.....
