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

...for the recent cuts in petrol prices to "cut your fuel bill in half" as claimed by some drivers on the lunchtime news.

(Cock all benefit to me as I don't run a car)

I drive about 2,500 miles a month, sometimes a bit more. Certainly made a difference here.

You'd still be able to drive five-eights as far as before, to reduce your bills by half !
(assuming petrol reduced by 20% and also assuming I've not goofed)

350 a week.
150 Monday (or Tuesday) and Friday and the rest the other days. Hardly any at weekends.

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

I dont HAVE to drive anywhere.

I think maybe 30 miles so far this month. because we went to lakeside :shuddrs:

I drive 2000 a month in a company car with a company fuel card I don't know how much fuel is, but I do know the taxman likes hammering me every month.

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

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

About 250 miles so far this month. It varies. Maybe 350 for the whole month and I dont work. Its a good job as well. When I worked I drove 350 miles per week. 18,200 miles per year?

 

[Drago]

About 100 a month, plus Search and Rescue callouts.

The taxman isn't doing a very good job in repairing our damaged roads. But is spending a great deal on the smart motorways and infrastructure that is supposedly getting this nation moving again, no I don't think I have paid for them myself.

About 3,000 a month on average, company car so not really an issue for me. I have to pay private mileage at 11p a mile though but other than a few trips to the shops I don't do much personal usage, Mrs Pplpilot's car is more practical with the children so we use that more at weekends.

 

[jonny jeez]

I HAVE to drive about 100-150. I most likely drive about 200.

650 ish miles a month, it tends to vary by quite a bit depending on the weather and work commitments and the number of Search and Rescue shouts.
