Average petrol cost / week ?

[ycming]

Hey peeps,

Just woundering how much you spend on petrol per week ? And how many litres and how many miles you travel per month ?

I currently do about 210-230 miles and that is around 30L so about £35 / week ......

You ??

Well the gauge hadn't been reading any fuel since Monday night so felt ad best fill up last night. Put £35 in and it only read 3/4tank I'm hoping that will last me till the end of the month as I normally do 110miles on a Monday and not many in-between.

Fuel gauge roulette FTW lmao

erm about £3 i only do roughly 5 miles a day unles the girlfriend takes it for car pooling then it does 60 on that day but its around £70 to fill it

 

[Gregry254]

hmm something like £5?

Travel about 2 miles to and from work and then just random jonts like Tesco or the gym.

If I have to goto the gf's house its a different story as she lives 30 minutes away, but she is usually in town

unbeleivable amounts. mabee 700-800 miles aweek atleast. always seem to be milling about.

in the seicento a tank (32 liters) will last 290-330 miles depending on the right foot (sometimes as low as 230-210)
in the pug a tank is 45 liters and i got 670 miles before the fuel guage died and i got scared and put some in.
today i did 156 miles on £10 in the pug though

 

[ycming]

the pug sounds ace if is producing that figure .

 

[clock34]

it is ace but the gear selectors keep popping off so reverse isnt working or 5th gear...... i hate french

I had that on my cinq, and found out the horse shoe clip is too big, so it pops off under heavy vibrations. Try and use a smaller one

Think the Stilo fuel tank's 55 litres though could be wrong. Certainly for the trip to Stanford with a few detours down there and the way back I managed to get down there and half way back to Glasgow on the tank and that was doing...some miles per hour. I'd say the range is easily over 500 miles at least.

Spend per week does depend of course if I have long trips and the like but during a normal working week it's pretty much a fiver as my work's a mile and a half down the road too. I average maybe 6000 miles in a year too, hence why my 7 year old Stilo's just about to hit 46k miles. Only done 29,000 miles since I picked her up March '06 :smile:

Oh and I tend to use V-Power at £1.21 a litre. I'd probably end up using the cheap stuff more if I did loads of mileage though lol

With the yellow peril....diesel

400 miles a week and £40 a week to fill it, with an occasional heavy foot!

When I owned The tangerine....petrol

400 miles a week on £60 a week to fill it driving carefully!

 

[mrcinquecento]

6 cylinder, 2.5 litre BMW that weighs about 1.6 tonnes

all i know is my wallet winces whenever i pick up the car keys.

 

[clock34]

it a petrol or diesel? mate had a diesel 2.5 and was returning 50-55mpg on another freinds 325i he was looking at 30ish mpg lol

 

[imported_abyss113]

nope not a diesel

 

[lkc]

I drive 200-250 miles per week and the fuel consumption depends on which route I take to work. In the holidays I take the main road and I can easily get late 40s mpg which works out roughly - oh hell my maths has always been pants. It's diesel so probably £20-£25 give or take. Outwith the holidays when traffic levels rocket I use the back roads and fuel consumption drops to 43-45 mpg. However my blood pressure also remains low as I'm avoiding the numpties on the A90 and you really don't want to hear me ranting about them lol.

 

[Andi9386]

120miles per week just going to work & back (12 miles each way, so 24miles per day x5= 120)
8 different speed limits on the way (20mph- 30mph- 60mph- 50mph- 70mph- 50mph- 60 mph- 30mph, & 10mph at work's carpark)
Seicento's Tank (38l) £37 per week to fill it completly £259 per week :blink:, lucky to get about 270, 280 at a push, just play fuel gauge roulette atm (fuel gauge don't work).

 

[clock34]

38 liters and 37 quid to fill it. where the hell are you gettign petrol at less than a pound a liter?

and also the seicento tank is only 32 liters from empty to full

which at a average of 1.15 per liter is £36.8 to fill it mate....... just so you know .

 

[ycming]

ISn't the tank suppose to be 35L?

 

[clock34]

unsure. all i know from empty (new tank) to pump second click off was 32.67 on the petrol pump

 

[ABZSTILO]

The Stilo was averaging 52.2mpg (61mpg on its last run in my ownership), so in truth I suppose I remembered to fill it up once every other month :grin:

The Alfa is not proving so frugal.... a mere 44.5mpg average :cool4: So I suppose it's costing me this side of naff all to run

 

[Andi9386]

Steve. according to the handbook Fuel Tank is 38l, £37 is the most the Sei will take.
Unleaded at work is £1 15.9p
