10,000 at 27mpg in a 180 at ?1.36 a litre = Fuel cost of ?2290.24 ish
(Approx 370.5 gallons which is 1684 litres = 2290.24)
Insurance - for me anyway -
Diesel = ?350
180 = ?450
Tax -
Diesel = ?130
180 = ?245
So a years driving a Diesel is roughly - ?926.77 cheaper on fuel and ?215 cheaper on tax and insurance
Total - ?1141.77 .........
Clearly as things go up - the diesel becomes even cheaper - but as mileage goes down so will the savings.

Very thirsty 180 you got. I get 35 out of mine. My insurance is only 380. Plus you forgetting one BIG plus factor to the 180.............THE HORNY NOISE. That is worth the extra pennies. Its like the wife wearing knitted cardies to bed to save on heating, save money, but boy does she look ugly!!!!!!

She not my cup of tea. Needs to be blonde, and the cardy still makes her look ugly. Now if she was to take it off, plus everything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still back to real topic. 10mpg and 180 noise still better than 50mpg and taxi.

Dont know how some people can keep them like new, know if I had them painted/refurbed they would soon be bashed up!!
Even outside our house, trying to be carefull, cruuuuuuuuuuunch, I know you can look in the mirrors etc. but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Park about 2 foot from the kerb ! Thats what i do , my wife always says "can you call me a taxi to get to the kerb" yeah very funny but my alloys are spotless ! (unlike the ones on her car ! )

the problem with that where i used to live, is that if i left it that far from the Kerb the bin lorry or even a trasnit would take out the mirrors or worse....
was a tough choice of ' wreck the mirros etc or risk a curb scuff....
parallel parking was no fun either as you could not swing the front end out properly either as just not enough space....
Now however i have moved and the ZS lives on the Drive
