What mileage does a 2014 Toyota 2.0-litre diesel do to the gallon of diesel. And what does insurance cost for a driver with full clean licence and 50% no claims bonus?
Hi,
With a leased car, who pays for tax, insurance, tyres, services and so on?
Thank you

How are the Mazda RX-8s for fuel consumption and insurance since they are rotary engines?
I own a 2009 Volvo V70 flexifuel. We love the car. We have two children and it is perfect for us. It is roomy, reliable and safe. We plan to buy a caravan so it will be suitable for towing. The only downsides are it costs €1,200 per year to tax, it is relatively heavy on fuel, it has a low service interval (10,000km) and the timing belt is due.
Should we cut our losses and trade it in for a diesel? We previously owned a diesel Mazda5 that gave us a lot of problems with the DPF, thus our aversion to diesel. We will be doing small mileage with long runs during the summer holidays (maybe towing a caravan). Am I being irrational in avoiding diesels because of the DPF issue? Currently I am spending €100 a month on road tax so I would be prepared to spend €200 a month on a vehicle if I was to change.
Your advice would be appreciated

Hi, I am trying to decide between a 2006 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 1.4 diesel or a 2007 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel. I do approx 250 miles per week; would there be much difference in the running costs?

Hello. Can you tell me the difference in running costs between a 2000 Ford Ka 1.3 petrol (88k miles) and a 2003 Citroen C4 2.0 diesel (65k miles)?
Cheers
Is the 2006 Lexus IS 200 an expensive car to run?
I'm looking at a 3.0-litre 2006 BMW 3 Series Touring with 48,000 kilometres on the clock. What are the running costs like on such a car?
Thank you
