How can people afford cars?

I had a meeting in Cardiff today.
I drove, on the way there I tucked the nose of the car under the bumper of an hgv.
As a result my 2.3 litre, 5 cylinder high pressure turbo petrol engine did 38.5 mpg for 145 miles- take that Hans Diesel!
On the way back I wanted to get home so went 40 mph faster than before.
Total result- 300 miles travelled, 30.8 mpg in total, approx £50 in fuel at today's prices.
I challenge anyone to do what I did today for the same cost with another form of transport.
Bear in mind you must arrive in a suit.

300miles in a day on a bike. Carry suit. Piece of piss.

Compare the cost of your car to the cost of my bike though.
You also forgot insurance, depreciation, tyres, oil, MOT, parking, blah blah..

Dylan went there already. I can't keep up any more.. I'm going back to work.
