How many litres of fuel do you guys burn a week ??

georges · 22 May 2008 at 14:50

When going to college and back - 15-20/week I guess.

Scottland · 22 May 2008 at 14:52

Currently about 50L a week, from next week will be about 10L or less.

Scania · 22 May 2008 at 14:52

Well over 1000. Seriously.

Does that come out of your own pocket?

On average I was using 90 litres a week
I'm now using about 30 per week

This is because my car is now parked up and I'm using my bike for everything, including seeing customers and busines trips. Seriously considering registering the Lexus as SORN as I'm just not driving it.

With the current fuel prices I've saved myself quite a bit by doing this.

No, strangely enough, it comes from a fuel pump......

What bike are you riding ???

My bike is only meant to do about 42mpg (fazer1000)

55litres - 310miles - 1 tank.

Lower if I stop in and see my parents for a night.

LOL!

Beats all the joke threads hands down!

I remember going out with my grandad in his lorry. Come back to the yard, stick the fuel nozzel in, click it open, wander off, make a cup of coffee, have a sandwitch, chat to the other drivers, draw up loading for the following day, grab stuff, stick in car, go back to lorry, wait for tank to finish filling, put nozzle back on pump, park lorry, go home.

I do aroud 500miles a week. £50 worth of fuel will do that, so however many litres that equates to.

Thats pretty much the case, especially if the tanks near empty.

In my case, I start fuelling the truck, go & put all of my crap in my car, do my paperwork just in time to hear the pump click off.

that is a scary amount for one lorry in one week.

:eek:

Multiply that by the 350 odd trucks James Irlam Logistics run (or indeed the 950 trucks of Irlams Parent company - Stobart Group!) and its one scary fuel bill! - Our yard alone has 3 tanker deliveries per week! :eek:
