Re above post i added it because not only can some disabled not afford to get a car on motability or have to give it up or not use it due to massive £6-7 a gallon fuel i can see with the austerity that food maybe more important than cars even though i do need a car.

Dave without being rude, this is a mobility car forum, a lot of us just for a minute want to forget about disability etc and talk about our cars.

Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally say the wrong thing.

This post was about car running costs so it also matters we can afford to do this.

Possibly about right at thr monent for a 2l petrol check it after the first 2k – 2.5k

Running costs of a CX-5 Dave, suggestions of alternative vehicles with lower running costs would help Coralie.

Although it serves as a stark reminder to all how important it is to consider running costs when leasing / buying any vehicles new or preowned.

Well said trev your right do your sums before rushing into getting choice of car running costs.
