I think well deffo. need an estate for the 4 of us and all our stuff !

p.s. theres months and months before we need a car anyway !

p.p.s. power is nice, but we dont want to spend five times what the car cost just on fuel... well hardly notice the power output of the engine on the motorway anyway :)

....anyway.... would be more in feel with the rally if it struggled up every hill ;)

I need some help with some maths..

In my old Volvo 2.0L GL I did a ~800 mile round trip. I filled the tank 4 times, at a cost of around £45 per fillup.

So £180 for petrol cost.

What did it cost per mile? I get 22.5ppm

So between 4 of us we need to put aside about £900 for petrol if I get us a 2.3 I think (I think about 30ppm over 3000 miles)

The actual rally is just under 2000 miles, but we do have to get to france 1st.

So £225 each for petrol.

I think it might be a good idea if each of us set up a bank account and put £10 a week from now until the event and then they can use that for petrol.

I could set up a bank account and we could all pay into that.

Alan and Sara what do you think ?
