Well it's all relative isn't it, it's not a deal killer but I suppose I do need to think about it.
Well I've calculated it will only cost me £20 ish a week more to drive a Cupra over a 184, so I think I can afford it
If you say the cupra is 30mpg and the 184 50mpg this web site says it will cost you £1500 a year (£30 a week) more asked on £1 a litre for both petrol and diesel.

Without wishing to urinate on your chips, remember that the Cupra will cost more to run not just in fuel. Factor in road tax, insurance and tyres (and they really like tyres
) and it could work out a bit more than £20 a week. Ours has done 22k in just over 12 months, and has needed three new tyres ( one puncture , two worn out at 9k , useless Bridgestones ) and will probably need two more in the next 2-3k. Around £130 each for Goodyears. Has needed servicing twice in that time. At what cost per litre did you work out your figures, I know the current price is good ( relatively speaking) but there is every chance it'll head upwards again....Chaps let's not get carried away here, I'm 50 so insurance isn't a issue as for the other bits the margin cost differences aren't that much.. As for services surely if you do large mileage should you be on the longer service schedules.
I'm not trying to run this on a shoestring budget , I was just interested to see how things where to put into my man maths

Everyone's a bit harsh on the mpg. I do 60 mile a day in mine for work. If I drive nice it's around 38mpg however 90% of the time I don't so I average 34mpg. Cupra mode gets me about 27mpg managed to do 30 mile In 25 minutes once . Tyres are a shame but Michelin super sport are only £120 each on amazon. It's a brilliant car to cruise in around 80mph. Just be warned for stone chips

Averaged over 30 mpg in 1000 miles. Drove from Cardiff to Liverpool on A roads and got just over 40 mpg.
Wow, you guys averaging less than 30 mpg must be hammering it everywhere or doing lots of short journeys surely?!
If it helps, I have a 280 manual. I do a lot of short journeys, my office is only 6 miles away from the house!
On average I get between 300 and 320 miles from a tank of V Power. Yesterday I completed a 200 mile round trip along the M42 and M1. On the way there I sat at 65 - 75 in Eco mode and averaged 39.8. On the way back I sat in Cupra mode and had some fun, returning 34.4.
I picked my car up in November and it still has just under 1,500 miles on it. Long term average is 30.6 and 34.4 on this tank.
