It will depend on how many miles you do, if you do, say, 1500 miles a year it
will cost a hell of a lot more than this. Based on this, we should all drive
our cars as much as possible, on needless journeys if required, to reduce
the 'cost per mile' element which will in turn make purchases from independant
Lego retailers EVEN CHEAPER!!
