lol! The 20mpg was not the problem for me as my daily work commute was only 7 mile round trip and the car was never on finance/bank loan etc, so it was just a case of petrol/tax/insurance. Don't forget I ran around in several Audi 90 quattro 20Vs over the years, and they are woeful on economy for the performance (low 20s). The £206 a month insurance premium (due to moving to a Liverpool L postcode) was more than double what I was paying whilst living in Northwich (CW postcode). That plus the excess being £950 along with the trade value of the car being £770-£910, was a no brainer for me. It had to go on principle. At the end of the day, I work bloody hard for my wages, and would rather not blow them on bullshit insurance premiums. If the insurance situation changes for the better, an S6 Avant will be on the cards, despite it's shite mpg. Diesels may do better mpg and be less than half the insurance,but I still would rather have a nice powerful petrol. Nearly everybody I know locally is paying nearly double last years insurance premiums.
