Disco II TD5 on about 56,000, I hope to run it up to 200,000+.

Why all this fuss about road tax? I guess it's because: a) It goes
directly to HMG. b) You get nothing but a pretty bit of coloured paper
for it. c) You pay it in one lump.

£250 is only around 4 fill ups for me and I fill on average every 10 days
or so. Between 23 Nov 04 and 16 Sep 06 I've spent £3,784.76 on fuel
driving 26,310 miles. Other costs (insurance, maintenace, etc but *NOT*
depreciation) have been £3983.12 = Total £7767.88 in 22 months or about
£4,250/year. £250 is not a particulary significant amount.

My MPG? Ave 28.9 but recently has been consistently above 30.
