{In light of Stargazer's reply, I've amended the subject header to reflect all types of fuel purchased for your cars. DD}

A lot less than that, I spend £0 a week and its 2997cc............ but its in the garage not being used in the winter. Depends on so many things...... how much and how you use it. My fag bill is zero too.

Presumably you basically do fixed routes on fixed days?

I budget for £100 a month, that usually covers it for work runs, usual run around and the odd trip back home (that takes about half to three quarters of a tank). thats in a 1.8 xantia

Temporarily not a student, where did the time go???
|
Err which week in the year ?
If I have 2x 500-miles round trips in a week then I spend about £90/week. But then I might have no long journeys for ages so £40 will last me 2 weeks.
However, assuming I do 15,000 miles / year, then I estimate I spend about £35/week on petrol.

I put aside £10 p/w, but have started accumulating this and brimming the tank once a month (or when required). Car only does about 6000miles p/a anyway. Just done 270 miles on 20 quids worth, quite pleased. Oh, its an old 1.05 Polo 4 speed.
|
|
You'll be spending more soon. The price is quietly rising. Up to 94p/litre around my way.
|
|
Well a £20 tank usually lasts me about 2 weeks.
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I had noticed a slight rise, but I still wont spend any more than a tenner a week, unless of course, I?m going somewhere out of the normal. 94p!?!. Nah, still 88p here. Highest is 90.
|
I budget £100 but I don't know how much exactly. I do about 200-250 miles a week and the tank's normally good for 600 - 650 miles (About £60 to fill to the brim from empty)
Does that sound like good economy?
|
|
Up to £120 between the 4 vehicles but mostly diesl for the vans. lowest fuel bill is usualy about £30 and is the week betwen christmas and the new year when i am not working.
|
|
I much prefer not to know. Varies a lot anyway.
|
|
Not much since I started walking to work. I?m paying about 64p for 98 ron at the moment so it?s nice and cheap when I do have to fill up.
|
Most of the time my car sits on the road outside my house, and when I do use it it's for jaunts of 40 miles or more. I have to fill up roughly every 3 months, which costs 40 pounds a go, so therefore about 3.33 a week on diesel.
Unfortunately, I'm still paying through the nose for insurance and road tax, but nothing's perfect. I'd have leapt at the chance to try the Norwich Union pay-as-you-drive scheme with a black box, but was not prepared to pay 1 pound a mile after 11pm, when quite often I drive back to Devon at night.
Suppose an emergency cropped up and I had to head home in the middle of the night? I'd be looking at a 350 pound bill.
|
Just over £4,000 in 5 years / 61000 miles / BMW 320d.
I just decided to check out a tankful of BP Ultimate diesel @ 99.9p/litre (ouch) to see if the high cetane level brings any of the claimed benefits. In theory should see at least a slight payback in terms of fuel economy but not easy to replicate identical driving conditions of course.

In the last 12 months, an average of approximately £20.18 per week.

How much do prices really differ though? Never seen the point of these petrol busters type sites. Maybe a couple of pence a litre, and you may have to drive further to exploit this 'saving!
|

There can be significant differences between large national brands and small brands or independent petrol stations. I make a regular weekly 100 mile round trip and I save 7p per litre by filling up at the other end.

Sorry - still only 13.6p/litre here - filled the Toyota Camry for 7 pounds - (here=Riyadh)
|
Would be cheap Riyadh
Spend too much is the answer, but hey ho, it's mainly tax and if not collected via fuel they'd find some other way of extracting the funds.......
|
actually...the cheapest near me was not a supermarket..it was SHELL
and...i agree...i would never queue at a supermarket station to save 5p a litre......that would save me £2.50... and id be in a queue for 15 mins with my engine either running..or stop/start.
for what ??? £2.50 not worth it

Last fuel card return worked out at £280 on diesel, but generally around £350. Its a problem when the 'car' only does 26-27mpg in any given month!!
|
£7-11 last week. Usually about 100 miles a week, 56MPG.
Megane dCi
Low miles, so why bother with a diesel? I like the way they drive before anyone asks...
|
On average
8,400miles pa @ 21mpg = 400 gallons per annum = 7.7gallons per week = 35 litres per week @ 0.94ppl (Optimax) = £33 per week fuel spend.
SWMBO is similar.

Easier to do monthly figures
About £8 / month on petrol for the bike in the summer, insignificant in the winter
About £33 / month on diesel for Mrs H's C3
About £27 / month on diesel for the C8 in the winter and nearer £50 / month when there are lots of gardening jobs in the summer and I don't think I should include figures for the mowers and other tools ...

Fill up the Fabia & C4 every other week or so, depends if we have any runs anywhere. The Mini gets a drink every other month.
I do know that we use a lot less now than when we ran the Clio/Xantia or Clio/Cooper - but curiously the cost now is more....and even though I use the same pumps at Sainsburys, they seem to fill up the cars quicker to similar amounts of money. Now that's progress.
The Fabia flatly refuses to do less than 54mpg even in daily stop/start town traffic yet goes like stink when you push it, it's a brilliant engine - it's made the fuel costs rises a lot easier to bear.
Lee -- Do you have any conceivable reason for even getting up in the morning?
|
Depends on week & whether I'm in office/customers sites or working from home. So somewhere between £ 0 - £150-£160.
This week busy one so may exceed that.
