I would expect about a 40% rise in fuel bills.. So if you normally do only twenty quid a week, expect to do nearer £30 now. I'm basing that on 35mpg for the 1.8 and 25mpg for the GTA, but it'll probably be worse than that in London and when you are caning it. Worst I've had out of mine is 17mpg, if that's anything to go by.. Best I've had is 30mpg on a run, you should do better than that as you have higher ratios.
