DeeZee Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 LOL Its a bit academic how much people are spending if they aren't saying how many miles they drive in a week. For me its about 350 miles a fortnight, costs me about £40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
