389,496 Commercial registrations in 2006 although a lot of those would be small vans & pickups etc still I'd reckon theres tens of thousands of HGV's over here.
Somebody will probably find the stats that my brief Google search failed to bring up.
How many trucks are there in the UK?
Come on R124 you gotta know this!

a tank a week which is about 60 litres
That is with my commuter-hack BMW F650 Funduro which does about 55mpg. The figures are compared to my Lexus which does 18mpg.
My RSV gets about 30mpg and is horrible in traffic so the F650 get's used for daily stuff.
No. The Baja's terrible. Has the aerodynamics of a windsock. I only use the Baja for pootling around town on the odd occasion, or messing around.
Thats on the Versys. I think it works out at just over 50mpg.

Just over 3 tanks a month, making about 200litres or 50l a week. Getting 560-580 miles to a 60l tank. Still hideously expensive.
give or take 900-1000 litres a week
starting to feel the pinch now in the fuel prices, (for those of dont know i run a small fleet of taxis)
now allowing an average fuel figure of 38mpg for a octavia diesel over a days driving
costs per mile work out as below
current fuel costs
122.9/litre 14.68p/mile
last month
115.9/litre 13.84p/mile
october
95.9/litre 11.45 p/mile
not so long ago
85.9/litre 10.26 p/mile
bear in mind that each one of my cars covers between 1500 and 2000 miles a week
so weekly costs @1500/week
now 220.20
last month 207.60
october 171.50
the good old days 153.9
since october my fuel bill by my figures has went up 48.70 x 5 cars 243 pounds a week or 12 1/2 grand a year
bear in mind taxi fares are set by the council and were set in september for the next 3 years, i honestly see my business failing by the end of this year at this rate.

A tank a week ( I think it's 55 litres) normally does me. However, over the past two weeks I have spent just short of £500 on petrol. I want to cry
£500 in two weeks on personal use?
Crazy!
