Never one to get hung up on fuel consumption and cost I worked it out as.


505,300 miles / 60 (mpg) = 8421.67 gallons

8421.67 gallons = 38,318.58 litres

38,318.58 litres x £1.25 = £47,898.23

I read the GM Europe link. He said it averages 60mpg. It's a 1.7Di. Stupidly good on fuel but quite slow. Will probably sit at 70mph 80mph all day.
