I'm not too bothered about the cost of running the car Cabbers, I won't be using the car on a daily basis, we tend to use wife's Berlingo (hate to say it but it's a brilliant car, the dog loves it too) for running about, it's reliabilty and cost of repair that worries me with autos - or am I being paranoid.
