How much petrol do you get at the pump?

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.

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

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.

Enough to get me to where i need to go.

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 · 13-09-2012 09:08PM

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 · 13-09-2012 09:08PM

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:

€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 · 13-09-2012 09:15PM

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

fasttalkerchat · 13-09-2012 09:19PM

£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 · 13-09-2012 09:19PM

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 · 13-09-2012 09:23PM

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

bradknowell · 13-09-2012 09:25PM

Tenner will do me grand

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 · 13-09-2012 09:34PM

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 · 13-09-2012 10:01PM

three fiddy

Sauve · 13-09-2012 10:05PM

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 · 13-09-2012 10:08PM

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

SouthTippBass · 13-09-2012 10:10PM

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 · 13-09-2012 10:10PM

fill it

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

galwayjohn89 · 13-09-2012 10:10PM

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:

Micky Dolenz · 13-09-2012 10:11PM

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 · 13-09-2012 10:15PM

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

How much petrol do you get at the pump?
