So you'd charge him £20 petrol to cover fuel costs. So why don't you charge this mate a few drinks to cover cleaning products used. I don't see the logic.
£30 LOL, can you send some of these mates over my way?
Gally got it spot on, invite him over...spray him with the hose, squirt some wax in his eye. He'll love it!
A mate of mine has just got a new car, I'll happily spend a few hours giving it a good wash and wax. I'm not gonna charge him for 3 hours work, he can just get me some lunch or a few drinks in return. However if I didn't like this mate I'd charge him £15/£20.
I tend to average about 430 miles from my tank, on track to do 490 from my current one tho! 55L tank, £60 95 RON - MK3 1.2 TCE.
I think 30MPG+ in any petrol car is respectable TBH. My driving is mostly town driving with a bit of dual carriageway.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be doing the same. But there is only so much you can get from them. Sometimes you'll have to settle for what they offer.
What have you done about speaking to British Gas?
Just cos a car is advertised for £4750 or £5000 doesn't mean its worth that. You bought the car to drive, you wrote it off and you're getting your money back. You haven't lost anything but your pride!
Not really car related but Jan payday, phone bills of £60, petrol £60, insurance £800, TV £500. Think I went out as well...close on £1500 spent in one day LOL! Why the hell would you spunk £600 on fuel a month! Crazy!!
