Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and have a couple of questions. I purchased my first ST yesterday after upgrading from a Zetec S . How much does it cost to fill up an ST tank? I usually filled up my Zetec S 3-4 times per month, based on the mileage that I do. Just trying to work out how much I need to budget for the car each month!

Also, how much is the tax per year?

Thanks!

£175 until the 1st of April when it's due to rise to £200 per year - unless it changes in the budget which will be held before then.

Varies with fuel, £38 to 44 Quid. Say 320 miles but can be around 248 miles with mixed driving patterns.

Depends how you drive it, im only getting 24 mpg at present so it's costing an absoulte arm and a leg but, what's the point in having one if you're not going to push it! :P

About 40 squid at the moment but I have been pushing her more lately. That gets me about 210 miles or so. £35 used to get me around 280. Stupid fuel prices rising again

I just filled up this morning - £38 and the fuel light had just come on before I reached the garage so it was pretty low. That was unleaded priced at £1.12/litre.

Yes. It doesn't make any difference. The ST ECU is mapped for 95 RON.
