Hi,

Was wondering how much (approx) it cost to fill up the fiat 500 1.2 pop tank with petrol???

Also how much is road tax on these cars?

Thanks!!!

35 litre tank [see other thread] times whatever the price per litre of unleaded 95 RON is in your area

Road tax is £35 at the moment. May be going down too.

LOL

Just to clarify things the tank can hold at least 39 litres if you brim the thing and with fuel being about a pound a litre at the moment it's 39 pounds of course. If you don't want to brim it, it takes about 35 litres from the first or second click on the pump and if you're going to run it till the light comes on you'll probably get 30 litres in with 5 still in the tank. Hope that clears it up for you....

mine shows empty - i.e. all segments off at 30 litres used, i think it knows that at the rate i use fuel i am likely to run out so tries to protect me from myself

Do you fill it to the brim? Also, how many miles do you get on the last segment? I'm dying to see how low I can go in the 500

Am I reading this right? The 1.4 would be a band C car by this chart.

2008/2009 standard rate is £120
2009/2010 standard rate is £35

Really? So next year my road tax goes down? That's seems unlikely.

Nope, the bands change next year so you can't simply look across the chart. Yours is 149g CO2/km so it'll be 125.

I thought Brown had put all this on hold though due to the recession...........

Well if lots of peeps keep buying little cars then Prime Minister Mandelson will hike the tax. Still they can always blame Thatcher.
