About 15-20 quid a week with commuting and a blast on the weekend..

i do many small trips, so i usually waste quite a bit of fuel.

Only do about 5 miles day, but sometimes more. Prehaps 10-15.

So, about 80 a month. Depending, if i have time off i get better MPG but do more miles Laughing

Was mainly looking for what you spend just for fun on the bike, not inc commuting. Smile

Want to cut mine down to £20 for non commuting as i feel i'm just throwing it away with certain trips. How much fuel do you save when riding 'sensibly' are bikes better then cars on fuel when going through the revs due to being made for it, unlike most cars?

Varies wildly for me but I spend about £10 to fill up and that's usually about every couple of weeks if I don't go for any long rides. About 120 miles to reserve.

So £5 I reckon.

12 miles a day minimum. Some days more just for work and college so that is 80 miles + 30 for random trips = 110 miles which equals about a fiver.

I usually end up doing a lot of random rides so can easily get up to £10

recently... maybe £2.50 a week. Equates to about 40 -50 miles for around town.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

Um... £15.00 every 2 1/2 days with work. So £30.00 for work, and about £30 for the weekend, depending on where I go.

But to fill the tank from empty it's about £16.00
