Title: How much do you fill up?
Post by: ALBEEEEY on 11 April 2012, 10:34
After that stupid fuel scare  :lipsrsealed: I was just wondering how much petrol/diesel do you usually put in and how far do you get on that? Plus the fact im a stingy bas##rd and try and calculate how much each mile cost and how I could make it cheaper  :grin: felt like comparing with other so I made a nice little template for you to reply  :wink:


Fuel type: Diesel
Usual Amount: £30
Miles: 220ish

 :huh:

No idea with the Skoda but the Micra would have been:

Fuel type: Petrol
Usual Amount: £30
Miles: 210-240

That was motorway/town as well and it was bad I thought on the motorway.

Might just get another Micra then!  :laugh:

Fuel type: Petrol
Usual amount: £50-60
Miles: 250-300

And because I am a mega-geek I use Fuelly.com to track my spending, mine costs me 22.5p per mile in fuel

I go brim to empty twice a month, then have to stick another £20 or £30 in at the end of the month to get by! So looking around £150 a month in total, and probably around 600-650 miles.  :sick:
Thats the problem with having a motor that you need to get anywhere though I suppose, and I often do like to go places.  :evil: :rolleyes:

When I had my vauxhall combo van I used to, 1.7d and 74mpg if driven sensibly couldn't get worse than 40mpg no matter how I drove it, down side was it only had 63hp and took 24 seconds to hit 60mph with a top speed of 90mph, downhill with a strong tail wind it once did 100mph. :grin:

I have a small fleet of company vans (3 Ford Transits) and cars (4)
