[XR33GTS]

I had my Skyline for 6 months and had to sell it to buy a computer so i could talk about how great it was. The thing is that it was costing me a fortune in petrol (about 200 miles on a tank) and it went through tyres like a wino in Elly's! So, the question is... Was i the only person to drive my Skyline every day or has everybody got second Mortgages?

I drive a 106 van mostdays to save me some money. Ah deisel power

 

[RoboPope]

I use my GTS everyday

 

[Sarky_FCUK]

Citreon Diesel ! Feel the power ! Die in my fumes !

Thats the problem though. If you've got one, it seems a shame not to use it! That and the fact the wife always wanted to borrow it! I was sorry to see it go, but so much healthier in the bank balance already!

I dont find its all that expensive to run, just not as good with motion potion as the renault.

Its miles more fun though

Use a company car in the daytime

Company white van every day. Bought Her indoors a new Smart car, lets me play as and when. Took it to Le Mans, have to go to Wales in it quite often.
Guess the truth is you don't buy a motor like that if you are worried about MPG.
I would be very suprised if there are many on here who have even bothered to do the sums, seems like you sort of know how far a tank full will get you.

I use mine everyday and just the work and back jaunt is 300 miles a week...! It has swallowed £90 this week already...

Its expensive but hey, like Buster says, I didnt buy it for its MPG...!

Everyday good dam day. Leaving it idle would be a crime based on how much money I pump into it each month.

use mine every day to work and back. but hey you only live once.

 

[gtst lad]

Citreon ax and company van...but in my defense i abuse the french [email protected] box as much as possible and drive the skyline as much as i can..

 

[grebo]

I used mine everyday while I had it. Then again having ridden bikes every day for several years and got used to buying new tyres every 3,000 miles the skyline seemed cheap to run.

Use mine everyday, get about 200 miles to a tank......Rubber was almost new when i bought it on the 29th May......I need new rears now!!!

Drove to belgium and back the other day booze and *** run (no customs guys here??) 350 miles to a tank. not bad.

I use mine everyday too. Just got back from a trip to Abbey. Its about 210 miles total & i used just over 1/2 a tank.

 

[quillyboy]

yep use mine for the daily work run. Get about 200-220miles out of a tank, not bad seeing as the Mondeo used to give about 260/70 to the tank!!!

Q!

What size is the mondeo tank?

 

[RoboPope]

why are you discussing fuel economy when you bought it for fun and only fun? its hardly a like for like comparison, I have more than one car and to be fair the others are nice enough motors but lets face it dull as f*ck to drive so i have them for emergencies and those regular "service" intervals

 

[Mason]

I bought mine for fun too.

As I use it every day, and its the only car i have its nice to know how quickly your burning up the tank. If i had a second car then it wouldn't matter.

I use mine everyday too. Just got back from a trip to Abbey. Its about 210 miles total & i used just over 1/2 a tank.

How on earth did you manage that Eddie?? I cant squeeze more than 280ish out of a whole tank at best, less if I drive like I want to...
