About £60/£65 now mate.
I'm using it a lot more now, which in turn is costing me a lot more

Tell me about it.
I'm moviong soon, as close to work as possible, as my current commute has me doing 250 miles a week.
So thats a tank a week.
So thats on average about £300 a month on fuel, if I only go too and from work.
So thats shít.

Got 23.41mpg out of mine last tank.
Not bad considering alot of it was town driving & once on the open road not hanging around from 2nd gear onwards.

I'd cry if I was getting that. I would be spending £70 a week to get to work and I'm sure it would be fun I would rather spend the cash on something else

But Ben, I do one maybe two tanks a month mate & don't hang about
Driving my car is not essential, it's a treat.

That's only £10 more than what I'm pouring into the Ducati every week
I might as well drive the Panzer to work - it's barely any thirstier.

I miss those days of just going out for a drive. Cool that you can Lee

Really?! I was thinking I'd get a crotch rocket one day to save me petrol money!!

It's all relative - I'm doing a 70mile a day commute in the two-wheeled equivalent of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (with an added 20% fuel penalty at the moment).

A proper crotch rocket will do about 45mpg, where as if you get a 125cc chicken chaser CG125 or something similar you'll get almost 100mpg matey.

I wouldn't mind a 125 for work, but would still cost a bit to get up and going. Did read loosely into what license I would require to see if I could get away with my current car license

You'd need motorway to get that sort of mpg & you'd have to ride like a fairy on a 600cc tbh mate.
CBT on current licence done.

As Lee says, 70 is not really realistic. 50 should be relatively achieveable. Normally somewhere between 3 & 5 gallons for most tanks.
Only for 2 years though, then you have to retake to keep Cat A entitlement.
