Keep 182 or lease new Fiesta ST?

After just over a year of owning mine and 10k miles on the clock I average 34mpg daily (commuting 4miles, trips to shops, gym etc) and any longer motorway journeys between 48-51mpg.

Comparing that to my 172 cup I previously had, daily - 33mpg, longer motorways - 45. So there's hardly anything in it really

I've just done a 760 mile round trip over space of a week, driving up to the lake district, anglesey and back to midlands. Very mixed driving, lots of slow b-road, motorway and over 3 hours of traffic, and the trip computer is reading 40.5MPG, filled with lugage, 2 peops and a dog.

Old part of the thread but lol at a Clio costing £350-400 per month to run, jeez... yours must be absolutely f**ked mate!

If you read how he came up with this number it includes EVERYTHING including petrol, insurance, road tax etc. not just running and maintenance costs.

Fair enough though that's a pretty silly way of doing it seeing as though every car is going to cost you in fuel etc.

Not really, if one wants to know what a car costs to HIM
