£90 a month normal usage family car.
£20 a month second car.
£200 addition for UK holidays (x2).
I cycle to work when I’m not dropping the kids off at nursery (918 miles since March), have a car that does 45 mpg and we’ve stopped going on days out further than about 10 miles.
£1720 approx per annum total.
About £6000 (probably a bit more)
Wife works 50 miles away and we run a big second car.
I have absolutely no idea! It's a lot though. I know that much.
we’ve stopped going on days out further than about 10 miles.
Bloody 'ell Harry - our local curry house delivers further out than that 
1 4x4 and 1 ickle i10 - about £1800 a year.
I'd guess £1500-2000.
£5000-£6000 a year
It used to be nowt as I was "borrowing" it from the lorries at work, then after the fun stopped I was spending around £1500 a year. Now I have changed shifts and start a reasonable time I don't use the car at all for work so the bill has dropped to around £800 pounds for the year, most of that is burnt during the summer time for camping and holidays.
£1558.48, average mpg is 36.4 which is pretty good going considering the amount of congestion on the 127.
1 family car, over the last 12 months I've used £1350 unleaded
Would be nearer £2000 if I hadn't cycle commuted from March - October.
I would love to get rid of the car but my wife wouldn't be impressed, what with 2 kids & many friends & family all unreachable by pubic transport
About £4500 - £5000 @ around 32MPG
Since we moved to darkest Lancs earlier this year, a whole lot more. A quick guestimate is somewhere around £4,500 p.a.
We own one car. A very thirsty one, it seems.
I shall be back on the bike tomorrow (50 miles round trip - gulp), and Mrs North can bloody well get the train.
my cars do around 10000 miles a year total, so probably about £1400. will soon rise to £2000 with a change of car to something nicer (however milage will probably drop as I'll no longer be the guy who drives for surf/bike trips).
GF's car does about 6000 miles a year, all around town. Probably £1200.
i earn more than average, but drive less, so I'm all for more tax on fuel.
Oh, I can answer this one pretty accuratly!
Car (1.6 Focus estate, petrol) £2935.42 at 40.76mpg average for the year
Motorbike (Ducati ST3s, owned since 6th August) £393.64 at 45.51mpg
Scooter (Vespa GT200) £199.83 at 72.32mpg
That's all petrol, but a lot of the carmilage (nearly 10k now) has been paid for by work at 45p/mile, so I'm actually in profit, all things considered.... 
I reckon my car is about £1500 to £2000 a year but then I ride to work more than I drive.
My wife's is probably a bit more, mainly because most of her driving is around town and her car isn't as economical as mine although she does drive like a right old lady.
£5000 ish.
but then I'm earning at least double what I could locally so overall a win...

Let them all eat cake?
One fairly thirsty petrol car around 10,000 miles a year around £1900 on petrol

Well put. I was going to type a response that would have got me a life time ban and, if I'd followed it up, a 12 year jail term.
About £5000 per annum - 2 cars, one of which is economical but does 20k per annum, the other of which is far less economical but does 3 European trips per year, so still clocks up 10k
Some bod this morning was saying the average spend on fuel was £1700.
I can't remember what mine is but I'd guess around £200ish

meh. tax has got to come from somewhere, I'd rather it didn't come from me. don't see the problem?
Put £90 in 2 months ago. Still have half a tank. So that's ~£270 a year at the moment?

Fair point
I have the exact figures at home, but do about 32k miles/year and average 55mpg or so. It's a bit more now as I am driving a lot slower, but I haven't really been doing that long enough to get a decent figure.
Anyhoo......32k miles at 55mpg, assuming about £1.36 average price/litre over the last year = £3592 on fuel. GULP! And that's just me, not the other half although she does much less mileage than I do.
Have to also add in the extra cost of servicing, tyres, insurance of higher mileage and it really is quite ridiculous!
Currently trying to get into 'find a new job' mode. Even if I have to take a wage hit to get nearer to home. The thought of a 10 mile cycle to work fills me with joyful thoughts. Just need to crack on & find something.
Somewhere under £1000 a year for me, a bit over that for wifey. We make up for it in road tax and insurance as we have two cars, a van and a motorbike between us.
£1916.77 for the last year for 10824 miles in a 2.0l subaru impreza sport

Tell that to the Greeks!
Looks like about £4k for me with a total annual mileage of about 30k. Miles split between the car I use for work at 55-60mpg and the van/camper at about 30mpg. I get mileage costs for all my work driving though so get about 6-7k per year from that so overall I'm comfortably up.
£3700 (assuming I stay put on Teesside untill next June)
~40mpg from a 1.6 petrol Focus C-max doinf 24k/year. Thankfully most of that is paid for by work.
About £600-£1000 for 2 vehicles (a Van and a Family car). QUite pleased with that. Don't think I'll get my wife cycling to work which would knock another several hundred off...
£1000 / year on average, I'd say.
Around 8 grand on one vehicle
I can't remember what mine is but I'd guess around £200ish
Eh, probably find it cheaper to use taxi's then have a car around for so little mileage.
For us, about £5000.
£1700 - Motorbike (commute)
£1000 - Car
£2300 - Wife's car (commute and normal)
before scooter:
My car = £1800
Wifes Car = £1700
after scooter:
My car = £650
Wifes car = £1700
Scooter = £320
about £3000 in my civic. 23-30 MPG.
Jebus some of you do a lot of miles - are you really doing 32k a year on personal?
Average mileage for a car is c12k isn't it? At 40mpg that's about £1900 at current fuel prices of £1.40 and £1400 at £1.20.
A Zone 1-6 travelcard for 'that London' will cost £2,176 in 2012 for one person. Just saying.
