    I spend about 25 euro on average every 2 weeks with my trusty polo.

    I never let the tank get below half full, a good policy I think. I get 200 miles out of her on half a tank so I fill up once every 2 weeks, and this is with daily usage.

    Would be interesting to see what other people spend (dont forget to mention your car and usage level).

    I don't drive often, €5, sometimes €10 will do me a week, in a Micra.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭testicle


    60 quid every week, just going to/from work.

    I think this thread is irrelevant it should be how many litres do u use, cos my local garage is only 101c/litre, but theres 1 on the quays in town thats actually 136c/litre. Anyway Im getting about 30-35mpg at the moment. (or around 70-80 miles per 10 litres petrol)


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    I'd usually spend about €50 a week on fuel, mainly going to and from work

  • Registered Users Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    about 20-25 euros in a week.

    40mpg and about 50 euros to fill the tank from empty.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,462 ✭✭✭TheBazman


    around 60 euro per week - rack up around 500 - 600 miles per week. BMW 520d

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,862 ✭✭✭RobAMerc


    About €50 per week - 350 miles. BMW 320i


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭DanThe


    I pay about 60 euro / 60 litres diesel for 650 to 700 miles every 10 days or so, 98 A4 Tdi. I could never go back to a petrol car!

    EDIT about 55 mpg, mostly 20 to 70 mile trips at about 100 KM/hr.


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭iremex


    about 40euro per week for 180miles. never let the tank get under halfway on a sl500. couldnt face the 80euro top up from dry


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,184 ✭✭✭Fey!


    About €30-€40 per week (I only do about 13-15k a year at the moment). About 360 miles to a tank (€80 to fill the tank) all urban - will get up to 450/500 miles on a long run.

    That said, the trip computer is telling me at the moment that I'm only getting 17.6mpg right now (urban), so there must be something wrong.

    I think your opinion is irrelevant.

    If the OP wants to know how much poeple spend, then he/she is entitled to ask.
    If you want to know haow many litres people use, start your own thread.

    I put about €50 in every 10 or 12 days, main car.
    I put about €40 every 3 weeks, second car.

    Over the past 13weeks I've averaged 329miles per week (even though work only works out at 200miles :eek: didn't think I did that much other driving)
    Well anyways, at 329miles currently averaging 44.47mpg, I calculate that to be €34.97 a week on diesel (@103.9 cent/ltr)
