That is outrageous! Do you live out on the island or something? I had a 4.1 V8 in my Lincoln and spent about $30 a week. Now I pay $20.00 a week for my 2.0T Passat. She has just as much get up and go with 200 horses as my Lincoln at 275 horses.

Well....adding my 1.6 litre and my sons 1.2 litre together I doubt we pay half of what your forking out and that is combining both (granted he is often away at sea) both fuel bills.

I know who to call on if I ever need a loan
