Even on low miles (at £100 a tank I'll be surprised if I do more than 3000 in Val) I think all cars benefit from gentle weekly exercise. Fortunately our old petrol cars run up to temp quickly so they don't need many miles a week. I've got a 5 mile round trip which is ideal (the fact there's a pub car park at halfway is purely coincidental!)

I try to exercise both of mine regularly, the Volvo gets almost daily use for taking the pooch out and the Rover gets used every few days usually and if not, i give it a run at least once a fortnight at the longest. Although i have cheap tyres on the Volvo, they've had some surprisingly good reviews but they don't sit still long enough to start deteriorating.
