you only use lots of petrol if bootin it when cruisin about mines is quite good on petrol.

i managed to drive from essex to fife (scotland) at an average of 110mph on only 60 quid and still had some left when i got here.

what bout general maintanence costs like wishbones balljoints etc i've been through 2 sets o balljoints in a year and a half and 10 toyo proxes (ouch) thats bout 600 quid on tires alone.

just got new gearbox, clutch, lifters, cambelt, crank sensor, cv joint, full service, crank seal, gear linkage, sills, wishbones, balljoints.

but thats to be expected when you kick shit out your car i suppose.

don't ask peoples running costs when they are probablly different to yours as by the sounds of it you treat your car like shit if you like to burn out tyres and rag it about for fun

So, on average most people dont go about doing burnouts randomly, which in turn will have an effect on your gearbox, cv joints etc so you cant compare how much people spend on average to you whom you would expect spends more than average!
