Not been on for a few weeks.
Giving the mig a rest for a while. Im current travelling from Dudley to Stoke 6 days a week and cant afford the fuel nor want to put heavy mileage on it.
Now temporarily using a T plate fiat Punto that i bought for £250 from work as a part exchange.
Its not till you drive a £250 punto you realise what a proper car omega are but at the moment i cant afford £100 a week in fuel. :'(
Will just use it at the weekend till i sort a job closer to home as im back living in dudley due to personal reasons.

your not alone many people are doing the same my neighbour now uses a 300 pound fiesta to commute and uses his 740 bmw at weekends reckons it saves him a fair bit

I use a £400 eBay Astra for commuting to work. The Omega is a high days & holidays car ......... and once a week blast to work on a week end. ;) ;) ;)

Me too, £300 Peugeot hdi during the week and mig for weekends and hauling pikey wagon.the 406 has paid for itself over the winter in fuel savings alone :y

Yep same story here, 3.2 for the weekend and the DTi for the daily work commute.

the drawback of only using the Omega once in a blue moon for work, is that when I do, I tend to have to play ::) ::) ::) because I can :y :y :y

Er yes. ;D
I do the same, also find it quite worrying how quickly the speed builds up on a motorway in a V6 Auto without you really noticing it... I have to pay attention to the speedo in the V6 after driving the diesel in the week.

I agree, but I wouldn't say worrying though. ;D ;D ;D ;D

It is when there's a marked 5 series catching you up and you glance down and see you've moved on slightly from the two figure numbers!

I use my 3.0 litre all the time including my 25 mile daily commute. Sod the expence :) its better than forking out for a nearly new mondeo as well as putting fuel in it :y

Sounds like you're not alone Dan, I think we'll all be doing the same the way the petrol prices are going [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Totally agree, by the time you`ve taxed, MOT`d and inured it then put fuel in it`s probably not far off the same expense.
I put 103k on my Senator in three years travelling to and from work, averaging about 29mpg. :)

I was thinking the same, false economy surely?

I just use LPG

I'm like Martin.
Every weekend I have to do 200 miles just to see my wife since she works in another country.
Thanks to LPG I have the same figures with the mig as I would jave with my fathers Octavia 1.9 tdi
