I think I can count on one hand the number of times my other half has fueled either of our cars!

And you complain about the lack of education of your apprentices? ;-)
She is currently paying between 17.4 and 15.6p a mile
Based on your figures, your car will cost 12p per mile.

I'll give you a hint. Work out the cost per mile for both. Based on the data given.

Adam, think of it as payment for services rendered.

Got you.
I was misled by the inclusion of the price of petrol (which wasn't necessary).

It's plenty fast enough for me thank you! Did you notice that I got out and kissed my drive last time you dropped me off?

You are NOT the Pope kissing the floor.
What was your first comment on the trip "Jesus look at the size of that arse"?
I had already looked and I had to drive on the wrong side of the road to get past it even though she was walking on the pavement.

The fuel cost of an EV is comfortably greater than a diesel or petrol car, if you remove the VAT and excises duty from the fuel...largely on account of renewable subsidies charged on electricity bills.

And the real answer is she uses mine and thinks I won't notice[1].
She does not know how to do the trip computers on mine so that is how I knew she was doing 65MPG. I am lucky to get 55MPG on the same journey.
[1] We do not live together and I keep the car parked on her driveway and I only use it at most once a fortnight on the weekend.- Vote on answer

Just checked the van. 418 miles and 28MPG over the last week. And a free pigeon on the roofbars.

Most of us live in the real world where the taxes and subsidies actually exist, so the cost is what it is in our wallets. YMMV

When I has my ladder fall and broke three ribs she hit the kerb twice on the way to A&E.
One of them on a left turn and she clipped the back wheel. That hurt when the car landed back on the ground.

There is always someone who posts a really good reply to my vague and random posts.
Lou is probably going to have to change her insurance to business use.
I assume that would mean I have to alter mine if she uses it for the business as she is a named driver.
I'll still be the main driver of my car if that is defined by "I do more miles PA in it than she does".
Mileage PA on the insurance is no longer a problem - covered for 20K a year and it will never get near that.

The gas pedal doesn't have to be either "off" or "on the floor". There *are* intermediate positions, you know.

Given that the overall cost of the journey was quoted, what do you say was the point in providing the price per litre of petrol?
