I drive a 1.6 VW Golf (Hatchback).

I spend £60 ($118) a week on petrol.

Price of petro over in your neck of the woods is what...about $4.00 ish US? You should get a VW deisel. The old ones you could go about 700 miles to a tank. Just don't get a scooter Muck...not you...stay with us in the man club... :lol:

400cc / 400lbs = 1 gay scooter

MPG has little to do with it. For example, this gets much better mileage and is at least 173x cooler.

I've got a company car at the moment, my car is Peugeot 306 1.9TD.

Diesels aren't much cheaper to run than petrols though, unless you run them on vegtable oil...annnnnnnyway.
