How much fuel do you put in your car each week?

antodeco

BMW Z3 had been about €120 a week, and probably less than 150kms distance.

Yup.

How do you know someone hasn’t got an electric car?

They will attempt to make a joke about them.

Jesus, if that’s hard to decipher, god bless you out on the roads with the rest of us.

Also, just to try aid your with your reading skills, which will help you decipher the thread title, the OP asked how much “fuel” people use. Electricity is a fuel in this context.

He specified petrol or diesel in op

Autosport

Usually between €50 to €120 Diesel with the different prices around the country. I drive between 52km to 136kms a week

Electricity is nothing to be scared of, just another fuel like petrol and diesel

I would love some other numbers here like hydrogen and LPG as well

At the end of the day they are all put into a car to make it move

I will answer that.

1litre 3cyl Bi fuel petrol/LPG.

I put between 36-41 Litres of LPG into the tank. Depends on if it's completely empty or not.

My last fill of 40 odd litres for €36.54 gave me 621.6 kms.

Filled 38 odd litres for €34.37 and done 597 kms.

I also filled up yesterday with 41 odd litres for €37.02

When LPG was even cheaper August last year I filled 41 litres for €31.78 and got 576.7 kms.

It ranges from 90 cents a litre and up to 1.50 cents a litre depending on where you fill up. The 1.50 a taking the piss it is no where near that for them to buy and they just seen petrol went up so they hiked it up as well.

As I said in post above it was even cheaper this time last year.

It's the same with vegans

I fill up, whenever I see a good price, this morning I got 58L @ 1.81⁸ (inc 4¢ fuel card discount)

But in general my 70L tank will last 2½ weeks, and I also fill the Mrs car, 60L tank, get 2 weeks from that

So.. on average, I probably pump 55L of duurty daysul every week.

I leave the engine idle if the smallies are asleep, I'll leave them sleep with the a/c running.

Lots of idle time on our engines, but they get daily blasts at (above) motorway speeds.

2015 1.6 Diesel Focus Saloon

Average 4.8l/100km going 1,100km/month at €90/month.

magicbastarder

according to the car's own estimate, i average around 5.4 or 5.5l/100km, 1.2 Tsi octavia. we do about 12k km per year, so fill up every three to four weeks; i'd typically be knocking on 850km travelled from a fill, before the low fuel warning comes on.

masterboy123

Tucson Hybrid 1.6L petrol

Paying €80-100 week. Fuel consumption is 5.5L/100 km.

Daily commute is 200 km (3 to 4 days a week).

Cork2021

I do 500km a week with a 1.4 litre diesel Corolla costs about €45/€55 a week depending on the price fluctuation.

this time last year it was roughly €30/€35 a week!! 🤦‍♂️

bladespin

Between €300 and €400 per week at the moment, it varies depending on travel and fuel price.

DaveyDave

7.3L/100km in a 1.2 petrol Peugeot 2008. Fill up every 6 weeks or so, get around 640km to a tank. It's .8L/100km thirstier than my 1.0 Golf.

Why don't people fill their cars? I wouldn't be arsed going to the petrol station every single week just to put €20 or €40 into it. Petrol stations near me are always bloody busy and nobody ever fills their car.

Creamy Goodness

Fill up once a month, 191 Audi A5, last fill was at 199.9c and was around 90 euro (50l tank, was super low so probably 45l filled). I work from home now mostly with one or two trips to the airport (60km) a month.

ILikeBoats

Fill up roughly once a month and that does me. Drive a Peugeot 308 GTi

Filled this morning for 93 euro. Should get around 550km from that as mostly short journeys.

AnonZen

Somewhere between €30 and €50 a week, mostly on the typical parental taxi duties as I'm working from home. E220D.

fancy pigeon

50-53 litres a week of diesel, gets me 900+km per tank, mixed driving. NV200 van

I can't imagine putting money in the tank works, unless currency is combustible

Where do you get electricity at 11 cents per kWh ?

Also where did you account for actual charging loss? To charge 174 kWh into your battery, you usually need to take about 190 kWh or more from your socket.

75 to 90 euros every two weeks depending on price, put about 55 liters of diesel in and get 1200 km from a tank.

Averaging 4.6 Ltr/100km mainly motor way driving.

10-12e/ week. Only 1 day in the office 60Km round trip. 5.5l/100km - the short town runs push it up a bit. 1.0l Hyundai i10

Energia with 41% discount, 11.26c/kWh night rate

The 174kWh is measured from the charger, so already accounts for losses

ozanam

Thought this my interesting as well for exact figures with an EV. Most charging at home. Some super charging and some free charging mixed in there.

ELM327

Model X tesla. Electricity 7.5c/kWh, uses 30kWh to go 100km and I do between 800-1000km a week. So that's (10*30kWh*0.075) or €22.50 for 1000km. Not bad!

To do the same in my old 535d would have cost about €200 in the current fuel market

mikeecho

Diesel was still 1.85⁹ (1.81⁹ with discount) , so I topped up with 11.03L
