However our commute is for three of us, so still works out cheaper and much more pleasant than the train

yes fuel may cost me a little more than i would like but i do have some benefits. firstly i never have to use my car to go too and from work as i have a company vehical. secondly i also own a 1.25 ford fiesta to do all my short trips too and from the shops so i only ever have to use my W12 for pleasure
