I have never used my zed as a daily car but I'm maybe getting a new job which would mean I'd need to use it to get to and from my work would be around 60 miles all in per day anyone give me a rough idea how much it would cost to run it would be 4 times a week so 240 miles a week

Depends so much on what type of roads you're going to be on. I can drive from Filey to London on 3/4 of a tank but can use half a tank just batting around Scarborough on a weekend

A cruising speeds, 240-300 miles is about a tank of fuel. At the current rate, about £80 a week, about £350 a month.

Will be mostly motorway a few miles before to get on the motorway and a few miles after to get to where I would work

You should do that on full tank at the start of week and have it last all week if it's a TT My TT is more economical than Jan's NA !

Yeah mine is a manual tt. I get to claim back expenses with my fuel receipts but doubt I'd get as much as I need for the zed but I'd be going from 1700 a month basic to 2800 a month basic so the added fuel costs would be able to be covered

Yeah, you should get about 280-300 miles out a full tank, lots if factors will effect it. Good luck, least it will be fun.

I'm contemplating getting myself a small van as I do a lot of work for myself but it won't be straight away so would end up using that for work but would probably use the zed for a few month to start with

What kind of work do you do?

My little van does about 600 miles to £60 so it might pay for itself buying a more economical daily.

That's about it - bank on no more than 250 miles per tank (around £80-90 a pop, depending on where you buy your fuel) with mixed driving and you won't be disappointed.

What he said.....plus as you will probably accumulate bit n pieces of "stuff", the boot of your Zed wont become a "van" !

U don't want ur Z to become a working van

Get a van & use ur Z for driving!

Otherwise sell ur Z get a van! Simples

OUCHHHHHHH...............biggggg assumption! !:shock:

I see this all the time and get under cut but clowns doing jobs on the cheap of the back of there car for pennies it drives the trades down its not a good thing

Yeah maybe getting a job doing the wiring on ships but it be self employed hence why once I get some money together in get myself a little van to use

yes you can get a little for really cheap now there are loads of them I have a transit I need a new one now but a good one costs shit loads

I am making this move now too and getting rid of the daily e46 320D. I get 600 miles form the BMW for £80. But the zed sits unused and gets sad and lonely, so I have started my 50Mile daily commute in the Manual TT zed. for £40 (at £1.25 per Liter) I get 165 Miles, And get 330 miles from a full £80 tank. So a fill up gets me a week commuting and some weekend fun. costs me around £13 a day, compared to £6.50 a day in the bmw. Also the zed is £20 a month of tax, compared to £15.75 a month for the BMW. then again the general running costs of two cars leaves me only slightly down each month by commuting in the zed. So I am happy.

 

BUTTTT... the zed is so much nicer to commute in. What a way to start and end the day!
