£80 to fill up!

[bitslice]

It used to be £55 a few years ago (TDi mondeo)

this is killing me as I do 70 miles a day, I'm going to pull all my money out of the bank and stockpile diesel, it's the only thing that is increasing in value as fast as gold.
In my last job I only did 20 miles a day and it cost peanuts to run a car, now it's practically my biggest outgoing.


Meh, just ranting post shock

Should have got a petrol, even with super mine is only 73 to get it from 10ish miles left to full tank.

 

[Minstadave]

Hey I do 70 miles a day at 35ish mpg, you've got it easy!

 

[InvaderGIR]

Man up.

 

[MivkM]

Meh, dont complain - 80 Miles a day and 28MPG. Time to say goodbye to the ST soon I'd say.

My Volvo has an 70 Litre fuel tank.

Assuming you brim it from empty you can get a bit more in (presumably a reserve or something on top) and its £100 to fill up !

Meh thats cheap mine cost me ~£100 now and only lasts just over 300miles.

£72 to fill the A3 but it does do 500+ to a tank so I should think myself lucky really.

£76.39 to fill a empty 55l clio 197 tank @ 138.9p with vpower.

The cost difference between regular & vpower per tank is £4.40 where I am.

£4.40 would get me 22 miles easy in the clio, should I start using regular?

70 miles commute?

[Mr-White]

£110.50 yesterday to fill up my Peugeot van (80 litre tank). That should last me two weeks, give or take (650 miles)

Makes my £55 to fill up and 650 miles round trip great then but it is a 2011 golf 1.6 lol okay not too much grunt but great on the trip to work

 

[Duke]

70 miles a day? Thought about getting a train or something

 

[atomiser]

yeah i started a new job just over 6 months ago and went to a 100 mile round trip commute, and taking it easy in the focus (boring 2.0 zetec) i was getting 37mpg so i was filling up at approximately £60 every 3/4 days. that also is only the fuel costs - insurance went stupid when i added the extra mileage, and then there is tyres/servicing, etc. painful. i now train it, £109 for a month's season ticket, plus a tank maybe every 3 weeks to get to the station with free parking. hurts much less, although public transport isn't all that friendly. it's nice to have the time back to myself though as opposed to ploughing up the motorway day in day out. ho hum.

Car share?

650 miles to the tank?!?! How are you managing that? I make that 70mpg?

 

[Puzzled]

I'm now having to consider whether to keep the ST220 or go for something a bit more economical as I'm spending a stupid amount of my income on petrol at the moment.

Was even thinking of getting a diesel shudder.....

I know I'd end up spending more money changing cars though as I wouldn't want to downgrade.

Just have to earn more money I guess......
