How many miles do you have to drive a month...

[mjr]

That was what I thought but the BBC were repeating this guff without a word of clarification.

I'm surprised how many cc posters seem to have made the same mistake and are claiming they've halved their bill by driving 200 miles and so on.

Didn't the taxman pay for the roads your are driving on or did you pay for them yourself?

No, we paid for them.

I have read that 4 times now and still cannot work out what you mean, perhaps somebody will explain it too me.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

No, we paid for them.

Yes. Via the taxman.

500 a month, split c. 100 a month (me) & 400 (other half).

1200-1500 a month. It's certainly put a few bob in my pocket, probably a couple of packets of Superkings a week.

I think the split thread title has confused a few, seems they are reading the main title but not the subsequent meaning

I have halved my fuel costs by riding to work 50% of the time

I just stick 30 quid in, and then stick another 30 in when needed. Presumably it might now be a day or two longer.

About what I did last month (but then I did visit a lot of family)

It's normally about 600 miles/month between two of us. Still too much really, but we do tend to go places with the kid at the weekend.

 

[cyberknight]

Less than 100 miles a month normally , might be more if it snows .

Last year my wife did 56000 miles.

 

[The Jogger]

I do about 300 a month now, it use to be 30,000 a year.

As petrol prices haven't dropped by 50%, drive as far as you like and you still won't 'half your fuel bill'

There are other ways to half you bill. I've just sorned my car (fun to drive ) and bought a new one (not so fun to drive). I've instantly gone from 18 mpg to over 40.
