How much do you spend on fuel a week?

    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).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,429 ✭✭✭testicle

    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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,462 ✭✭✭TheBazman

  • 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, Registered Users 2 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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,183 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,423 ✭✭✭fletch


    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)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭rebel.ranter


    About €60 per week average, 10k a year average. 525i Auto

    €75/week @ ~900miles. BMW 320d


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    About 300 euros a week between petrol and diesel. Mpg figures weren't an issue when vintage cars were new and petrol seems to evaporate from them when they're sitting around. I had a Jaguar once and I would fill the two tanks and after a week both tanks would be bone dry, it didn't leak, it was in a locked garage and I had the only key. It must have been haunted or else it would sneak out by itself,Christine style, and go for spins, I never figured out which.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,863 ✭✭✭✭crosstownk


    I fill once every 2 weeks and it costs about €55. I do a meagre 250km per week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 817 ✭✭✭md99


    €20-30 a week, Corolla 1.3

    97.4c a litre unleaded at Amber now.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,665 ✭✭✭gary the great

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,335 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG
