How much do you spend on petrol/diesel a month?

MIRMIR82

I was just thinking today about the amount myself and OH spend on fuel a month.

I have a 1.2 litre petrol and spend 120 a month.

OH has a 2 litre Diesel and spends 160 a month.
Thats a whopping 280 a month of our income gone:eek:

Just interested what others are spending on fuel too......

joolsveer

I have a van with 1.9 diesel engine and the OH has a 2.0 diesel car and we spent about €200 a month on fuel.

galwayash

€60/week on petrol :eek: Insane I know but I travel from Dublin to Kildare for work everyday. The price I pay to live in Dublin
My OH doesn't have a car so that's our total expenditure on petrol.

Berty

I suppose between:

€380 and €475 on Diesel

Company car.

Shane732

Don't have the new car a month yet but I reckon somewhere between €400 - €500 a month.

alanmc

About €400 per month. Not too bad for a 3.5 V6 I think.

Hoping to reduce this drastically for the summer months by using the Gixxer for work.

€240/month for less than 800 miles

ergonomics

I have a 1.4 litre and spend €160 on a month. The OH also has a 1.4 and spends about the same.

€60 a week is nothing. You should be very happy with that.

What are you driving?

Lemming

350 miles/week, circa 1400 miles/month and spending about £140 / €160 per month.

That's my commute to work, assuming I'm in the office for a five day week and don't end up working from home at all which occasionally happens.

Indeed. Honda Leg-end? 350Z?

helimachoptor

Was about 60 a week on a 1.0 corsa, starting a new job tomorrow with a company car not sure what type yet though but will expect to be putting a good bit more in

Mena

€500 to €600 or therabouts, but that's hers and mine combined.

350Z. It's lighter on the juice than I thought it would be.

rocky

55€/month, low mileage

Think you will find €60 a week is €60 more than nothing..

For a weeks worth of driving pleasure, it's quite reasonable.

In fairness, I was paying €100 a week for petrol but I've moved closer to the n7 so am now saving on my weekly petrol bill!

Depends what you earn.

€340 with one car and 40 mpg.

af_thefragile

About 100eur...

My 1.4l Puma uses more fuel than it should...

Agh jaysus do you still have the cat thought it was scrapped..

EPM

About €140 per week (2 tanks) usually just for the commute and evening driving. If I do something at the weekend that's more again. And I try to make the most out of my free time so you could add another 2 tanks for weekends. So that's about €700 per month on go go juice...oh dear...

Sounds like you're driving something V8ish. Either that or you're commuting from the south of France.

€650 a month for two petrol cars. It would kill me to get a diesel but I might just have to consider it

_Kaiser_

About €400 a month at the minute in diesel + tolls

2L TDI Passat with a just under 200km daily commute Monday to Friday. Mostly motorway driving but still adds up rapidly.

Lol, no and no. It's getting serviced 2 and a half months since it's last one too.

Cork to Tip everyday, sometimes Carlow too and I suppose I don't drive in the most economical fashion either.

Bullseye1

I used to spend around €300 a month but now I work from home 2-3 days so I'm down to €200 a month. What a waste of money. I really pity some of the higher milage people. With fuel prices going only one way it's not going to be easy.

Eric Cartman

about 5-600 a month in diesel, 3-4000km a month roughly

Same car? Why the frowny?

It's the first car I've ever owned that I don't mind shovelling petrol into. I love it.

BrianD3

400-450 euro per month. High mileage in a 1.6 petrol.

Same engine ..... albeit tuned for torque rather than power. Carrying round the extra weight would make it a bit thirstier than the Zed though.

Gitb1

used to spend about 240 a month on petrol in my 1.3 colt. Now spending a little less than 80 a month in diesel in my 1.5 megane

:eek: That's .... I dunno....... very high
Before I came back working in Cork work in Cashel was on the cards. Commuting that far every day didn't tickle my fancy.

JJJJNR

doing 2300 km a month as a commute, I'm spending 330 euros just to get to work.

Each time I have a fun moment in the car I throw 5 euros into the glove box.

unknownlegend

Averaging 250 a month. Not bad considering... just a few long runs approx 150 miles each way.
Have to keep 'recreational' driving to a minimum :-(
