How much petrol do you get at the pump?

Omackeral

Simple enough, how much do you spend on fuel when you go to the forecourt. Do you vary it up or do you usually get the same amount each time? Do you have a quirk whereby you must have it end on a particular amount. Are you exact?

This morning I put 42.23 euro into my petrol tank for the sheer hell of it. I am not conforming to rounding it off anymore. YOLO and all that.

That was the best place to put it alright

El Guapo!

The yellow petrol light in my car is a permanent feature.

Hersheys

Depends really. For driving around on a weekly basis I'll put in €20 each go, if I'm driving a big drive (Dublin to Limerick or something) I'll put in more.

galwayrush

Enough to get me to where i need to go.

joolsveer

I fill my tank up when I go to the pumps. The last visit cost me about 80 euros.

My car is a diesel.

Colmustard

I fill it to the brim and whatever that costs I pay, I hate petrol stations so by filling my car I visit them less.

MadYaker

Usually 20 or 30. 50 if im feeling adventurous :cool: Its costs almost 150 to fill so I've only done that once.

Long time since 80 filled mine, last time was 104:eek:

ScumLord

€10-15 is enough to keep me going for the week. If I'm going across country to Dublin €30-40 would do it with fuel to spare.

What do you drive, by the sounds of it 20 euro might get you to the next garage.

Its a lexus is200 and yeah its not great on fuel but I love it, it used to be 20 with my last car but its 30 now more often than not.

BamBam92

over 60 a week for me! 20 or 30 each go! :pac:

fasttalkerchat

£60/€80 fill it up so I don't have to face the depression for at least a week. I used to use half a tank a day so its not too bad now.

Katunga

no petrol as I have a Diesel. the last time I filled it cost me €105, I usually put fifty €.

Are you sure you dont have a hole in your tank? €150 is 88 litres at €1.70 a litre.

brembo26

€20 is plenty for me for the week, being a student and all that im surprised im not putting in less :pac:

My car get's 40 rods to the hogshead and that's just the way I likes it

I normally buy something in multiples of 5's, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 Euro.


One time I was putting "€25 Euro" of diesel into my car .. turns out I was looking at the Litres on the dial ... got a nasty surprise when I went to pay ... but had an almost full tank though

Mr. CooL ICE

I used to put in €50 each time i went. But since i got a visa debit card, im not concerned about change so just fill up to the max

bobin fudge

three fiddy

Sauve

My fuel indicator is gimped, so I have to sort of guess. For this reason, I keep it full, so top it up about twice a week.
It's a great game

So you drive either a Moped or honda 50?

Lorgach

I usually just fill up to the brim when required and it usually costs around €65

SouthTippBass

I fill the tank most times, around €70. Might as well, its not like you wont use it. Unless I'm broke, in which case €10 will be the lowest I go.

(Btw, Ctrl+Alt+4 will give you the € sign on most keyboards....... just sayin')

BBDBB

fill it

you use it eventually and the trend is for prices to go up rather than down, get it while its cheaper

galwayjohn89

I just brim it. Normally around €60 or €70. Can last me anywhere between 2 days and 2 months!

It adds great ambience I think :pac:

Nearly always 40L at a time. It's easier to keep track on how much each 40L costs.

I gave up on keeping track of the cost, it hurts too much

meoklmrk91

Just put in €50 tonight, back in college this week so I'd say that will be happening a lot!

danoriordan1402

I play a game of wits with the petrol station, it started with trying to offload my cents, so I would put in 20.01, 20.02, 20.05 - then one day I put in 20.08 and got 30 change back out of a 50, now its all 20.06 or 7 with large notes going in.. In a year I might save a fiver...

3ndahalfof6

it depends, today it is slebenty sleben cent, tomorrow it could be slebenty quiffen, oooooooo look I found my new old bike.

eth0

Enough to fill all the petrol cans I have with me the odd day I even put some in the car

BrokenArrows

I fill up every time. There is no point in just putting in a bit.

I would normally get four petrols depending on how big they are.

What?

Run_to_da_hills

€35 to fill a GSXR 750 and e16 to fill a Honda Bros :eek:

I prefer to fill them up and be done with it

No Citroen C4 1.6HDi van and I drive her fast. Its very economical, much lighter than a car and is faster than most 1.9 petrols I've been up agaisnt.

Cedrus

I brim it, 40-45 litres 2-3 times a week, I never buy a fixed amount in euros because the way it's been this summer I wouldn't have a clue how much petrol is actually in there. I also use the trip meter (Old Biker) more than the gauge, It's more accurate.

Pottler

I pull in to fill the van, and usually a couple of others pull in with me(I've a few) and all get filled. Not hugely unusual for the morning cup of coffee and a bit of diesel to cost €400-500, which I love. It makes my day.:mad: That happens about every second/third day. A grand a week is about typical. Somtimes a bit more, somtimes a bit less. Novelty deffo wears off after a while. Filling the car becomes a bit irrelevant after that for me, so whatever it takes, it gets.

Mint Sauce

About €60-70, or when the pump clicks. Which ever comes first. About every 2-3 weeks.

I once drove one of these for a few miles (level ground, no pedals) using the few drops left in the nozzle of 2 pumps

mickrock

Last week I put so much petrol into my car that I was hardly able to get in.

Stinicker

The last time I brimmed my car from empty it cost me €105, have being keeping an eye on fuel costs the last few months with an app on the iPhone called "Road Trip".

I get 31mpg and will be commuting a distance of 500miles a week from next month which would cost me €126/week in Petrol. I am having my car converted to LPG autogas this month which will cost €1000 but instead I will only be paying around €70/week in fuel and will save the cost of the conversion in about 5 months.

And will also have great stories to tell about "that time I got a feckin LPG kit fitted", plus the wisdom acquired as to why it's not more widespread.:D

About €90-€100 to fill my car, about 880km.

A tyre costs anything from €155 up to€230, I'll get at least 12k out of them:mad:

Nah, a Honda Accord.
I'd consider one if I could fill it for less than a tonne though:)
