BUT! What's the point driving an SUV ... SPORTS Utility Vehicle, and fannying around trying to save a few quid on diesel. I spend so much on the car finance each month that the MPG does not make a significant dent on the overall cost. If I was commuting 20,000+ miles a year I would probably be driving a different car.

PS is fannying a rude word in the USA?
