I'm Currently Feeling:  | Ummmm.... at a guess, in my car, about £20  thats a lot
but I go to Cardiff and drive around a bit on half a tank.
A tank used to cost me £30 now its closer to £40 |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | £10 - £15 depending on the road. I live 15 miles away from my work, so drive 30 miles a day, a tank of petrol lasts me about two weeks and costs £60 so actually its about £5 a day. Most of my journey is on a duel-carriageway though, if you're driving around a town it would use more petrol |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Id say anything under a 1.6 probably £10.00 tops £15.00 if its over a 1.6
Unless youve got a seriously heavy foot wobbs or an automatic then it might be a little more |
