How much do you spend on petrol?

I started counting at the start of January. And stopped at the end of January when I realised I'd spent over £500 on petrol, 85% for work, with a little personal at weekends. I did do very nearly 4000 miles in January though.

Humph! £2400 a year would be bliss....February's fuel count was just short of £400 (no personal miles) - so I'm headed for somewhere in the region of £6-7k spent on petrol in the next year. Which is roundabout 50% of my take home salary :(

£1440 a year would be bliss. :(

yes but its still an ouch for me... :) last year i drove my car hard and was spending about £50 a week on petrol which came to roughly the same as youre paying now. not good is it.. thankfully if i be sensible i can stay out of the VTEC range :( :p
 
inmmy first 2 years of driving i drove my mums car for 3 months. every day when i got home form work 20 quid in the tank and guarntee every drop gone by the time i got home. i worked it out to over 1500 quid. in 3 months! at the weekends i often used more than 20 quid a day.
in the nova it was the same story. only if i had ot hold back so i wouldent use all the 20 quid in one night.but i could have easily used much more.
now i have the corsa it just gets me to and from work and freinds etc. id ont really 'cruise' anymore so its about 20/30 quid a week driving steady.

You ought to think of the truckers. I work in a fuel garage and one trucker filled up till it cut out twice, said that would get him about 400 miles, thats £180 for 400 miles on diesel, and that was only the thing just over half full! :eek:

If you think how many miles truckers do....

Someone make me feel better please, how much do you spend on fuel?

A tank lasts me about a fortnight so I spose about 90-100 quid a month.
 
I put £40 in every Wednesday after footy. :)

I finally remembered to reset the trip computer one morning as well. I do 18 miles a day to and from work. That's about it apart from the odd trip to Wigan for my drum lesson once a week and the occasional shopping trip every now and then.
 
i have been known to put £60 in, in one week :D

normally around £120 a month though at a very rough guess. I dont even do that many miles, I just have a lead right foot :D
 
A full tank (£38 ish) every 2 weeks.

about £100 a month, but then I do get £300 back in expenses :D. What you need is a job that pays travel expenses...

So when they ask how much fuel you've used you tell them 3 times more than you've actually used? :confused:

No, he gets paid 40p a mile flat rate for business mileage and his fuel probably only costs him about 12-13p a mile.

Its not like it comes out of their own pocket :p
 
I try not to think about it, i'd guess about £250 to £300 a month. I dont drive to work either.
 
About 90 - 100 a month. 2.0 petrol. I do about 800 miles a month combined work and pleasure driving.

some of you are spending loads on petrol, and I moaned about my cost for last month..
