Hi guys,
Now I now I first started a thread on "advice on renting + taking redundancy" in the Private section, and apologies for starting a new separate thread, but things have moved on and I want to pick a few more brains (please!).
On my first thread about "advice on renting and taking redundancy" the ever useful Karlos offered this advice:
I really want to know what specific petrol per mile costs are to calculate specific distances in Devon. (Ignoring the overall running costs of a car for the moment -- as I will need a car eventually anyway -- I will need it to travel the 60 miles from Devon to my family in Dorset, and possibly other places as well.)
The question then arises: will I actually need to use the car for the specific journey to work 5 days a week and how much will the petrol (just petrol alone) cost.
I've been using a figure of 0.50p per mile (based on Karlos' previous advice) .... but that might be on the high side.
Any drivers know how much petrol per mile costs work out at? (any car I buy will be likely to be a small economical hatchback like a Ford Ka altho I don't have the car yet)

On my first thread about "advice on renting and taking redundancy" the ever useful Karlos offered this advice:
Running costs of a second hand car for average 10,000 miles a year are about 44p a mile and fuel is only going to get more expensive not less so you need to factor that in to your budget. Two services a year will cost you £300 plus any repairs tyres etc.
