23000 / 220 = 104.5 tanks
104.5 x 70 = ?7315 approx

The 120 would be ?4181 approx so I have a saving of ?3134 approx so even with the 1k off for the extra on the car its still worth it mainly because of the mileage im doing and thats without the tax and insurance saving.
Clearly you've made your mind up and being honest 23K a year in a V6 is a huge expense so I understand why you'd want to change, but I think you need to look at a diesel mate to be honest, not a 120. I think you're estimations for what you'll get from a 120 is a bit optimistic.
