I have Type R GT with 19" Rages so here goes:

1. Approx 28-29mpg with a mixture of town/urban driving
2. Fuel is approx £30 per week and I do 10k miles per year
3. Insurance came in at approx £500 (I'm 32 with full discount)
4. Service - being done as we speak, £110 at main dealers with fully syn oil
5. Tyres - dealer changing front to back but even after 10k miles the fronts have a good 4-5mm on them and rear almost full tread!

So all in all I'd say not bad, I was expecting when I bought the car to at least have 2 new tyres in the 1st 12m at a cost of £200 each, but unless I find anything different following the service I'm a good 6m away yet!!

As 'COB' said, depends on your right foot as to the fuel/tyre costs etc. This may sound like I'm a slow driver, but trust me I'm not, just don't drive like a lune burning rubber at every junction!

Hope this helps!!!
