THE COST OV MY MATES P1 DEPEND ON HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE IT BUT BASICALLY ABOUT 200 MILES TO A TANK IF YOU’RE LUCKY. SERVICING EVERY 6 MONTHS OR EVERY 7 THOUSAND MILES AND A SERVICE WILL COST ABOUT 130 SQUID BUT THE BIG SERVICE IS ABOUT 500/600 SQUID THEN THERE’S TAX, MOT, INSURANCE AT GROUP 20 AND REPLACING TYRES AND BRAKES QUITE FREQUENTLY. NOT CHEAP.

I would have thought a P1 would be cheaper to run based on my experience

I know that either is expensive to run but so is an M Roadster BMW so not to worried about that; althought the Evo and the P1 do sound like major components are prone to going which puts me off slightly.

The Evo is very strong and reliable, no worries there. Only weakish standard items are the Brembos and Clutch - your be wanting to upgrade those anyway so it isn't a problem. Only annoying thing was the services flew round each time and it was shit on petrol, far worse than an M Beemer.

I get about 240/250 with motorway driving
I can get up to aberdeen and back on a tank (120 miles each way) and a tank costs me about £50

5l in a gallon. £50 is about 55l fuel.

so... 55l is 11 gallons

250 miles / 11 = around 23mpg

not tooooo bad.... not great either

250/5 =

maybe just better than the skyline?! Havent really done a real tankfull in it yet.

The RR is a bit shit.

240 miles to 70quid say... so

70quid is around 80l

so... 80l is 16gal

240/16 = 15mpg!!!

And that is it at very best!!! seen it do 150 to a tank before
