What milege do you do a week?

kearney13

I do about 300-310 miles a week and spent 40 quid on diesel a week at 148.9 a litre.

I have a 00 caddy sdi and its a miser on juice 50-53 mpg.

What milege does every one do here a week and what price do you spend on fuel and what do you do to save on fuel?

Probably about 50 miles! If not less than that a week. Cycle most places these days.

Might be at the low end - on average, it's 68.75 miles/week based on my mileage since June 2011. In reality I probably normally drive maybe 10 - 20 miles/week. Haven't put money into the car since the start of December either. Cycle everywhere.

Sold my my diesel car to downgrade for my wedding and went the bangernomics route a year or two ago.

Driving a 2.0l E200 merc at the moment and doing about 30 to 33 miles per gallon.
Started car pooling recently because the weekly bill was over €80, I had to take further action.
So now €40, on average.
Thats just for work.

This week I've done about 4000 km, with petrol prices of between 1.20 and 1.70.
Fuel consumption on my Mazda 6 2.0 varies between 6l/100km during steady driving at about 70km/h to about 16l/100km consumption at 200km/h motorway driving.

Normally however my car does about 300-400km per week, with fuel consumption of 8.5l/100km on Mayo country roads. (that makes about 33.5MPG).

_Kaiser_

1000-1200km per week .. works out at just over €100 per week to fill the tank

sgt.bilko

Same here. I used to drive around the country like there is no tomorrow. Now I cycle 5 days a week if I can, 44km per day. Instead of petrol there are a lot of other expenses though.

Its been covered a hundred times, ask anyone involved in legitimate fuel supplying if they could sell diesel that cheap.
