How Much Do you Fill Up With The High Petrol Prices?

[Evolution_Ends_Here]

Hey guys, just wondering if you have reduced your spending on fuel lately since the petrol keeps on going up.

I used to spend $60 - $65 On Fuel a week when fuel was @ $1.23, now i spend between $50 - 65 on (Good Pay Week,)



Thanks

I've always put in $20 when she's gettin low. Never filled up, I figured I'd use more juice if it had more. Altho the VX is a lot better on juice, chucked $50 in yesterday and it went heaps far compared to the L300 and the old 202's.

Every tuesday after work (midnight ish) its down to the local servo, prices are cheaper and i have a good chat with the cute girl behind the counter
Normally its around $1.50 per litre of RON 98 (my favorite of all fuels). I fill up my baby and it goes around till next tuesday.

When prices go up, i dont drive less, i spend less money on things to make my car faster, and more on something that makes my car move.

Interesting thread.

Well i only use premium from mobile or BP, so no discounts :P. I normally drive around 300-500kms a week for fun, and probably an extra 150-200kms for work etc. I never let the tank drop below 50%... So it normally costs me $50 to "fill up". However i do this 3-4 times per week.

I just got back from a burn tonight (through the dandenong ranges for 3 hours). Did 350km and used $80 worth of fuel, (anyones who knows the dandenong range through to emerald/monbulk and back will know its pretty hard to average 100+km/h. So yeah, high fuel usage.

When driving to work etc i normally get 650km/tank (55-60L) which is about 3 weeks worth.

full tank of 98. stop whinging

depends what money ive got in the bank and what hours im doing for work. most of the time its $40, but i dont really care about the prices. fuels gonna go up, it might go down, get used to it. if im doing a run to melb, i might fill up, or ill fill half and top up closer to the city.

My fuel bill was $1360 last month. Record was $1020 in 36 hours driving to Perth a couple of Christmases ago.

I fill up when I need to. If petrol prices are high so be it.

[nicko]

always fill up bp98 on tuesday morning on the way home from work, couldnt care less about the price so i just fil until it clicks off, usualy between $50-$80

[excalibur]

usually about $75 does me for the week

[arrow224]

Exactly $40.00 whenever the guage reads between half and 1/4 full.

I fill both tanks up on Wednesdays, if the fuel is high eh..... I want to drive.

[f1tzy]

ill fill up when i need to but if i fill up before tuesday ill refil on tuesday. normally costs me around 100 a week of bp ultimate because i do about 650k

I fill up at about half a tank to be on the safe side. My VK is currently using 18.33 Litres per 100k's so filling up before heading off is neccasary. But shes rarely getting driven due to the amount of petrol shes using. I also use public transport alot, 5 and 1/2 hours each day i have TAFE.

[sedate looking]

If we were all that worried about it we would all be on public transport.. And i sure would not of just bought an 8..

im filling up every 2nd or 3rd day. just cost me $93 to fill the tank yesterday so prob spending $300-$350 a week maybe more...thinking bout getting a 4 cly rice bucket for running around.

[vy_storm]

Need another option.......

I fill up on the cheap day of the week regardless if I need it or not. Most weeks I only go through half a tank anyway.

[Morton]

I'd have to agree with VY storm here. When Tuesday rocks around, and petrol drops into the $1.2x range, I'll take a full tank. Then, if I run dry before next tuesday, I'll take a splash and dash. $20 if I think that'll keep me running. Then it's the full $75 tank again on Tuesday.

Dam straight.
Il bang $50 in on wednesday morning (cheap) and amybe another $30 in on sunday arvo.
I do abit of driving to and from work, and down to my mates houses.... freeway to work (12.30am), and on way home from work i get school traffic. so its the little trips that kill me,due to alot more traffic.

Im sick of people sooking "oh its too expensive"... if ya gota get somewhere, ya guna pay to get there.

[daron]

at 1.60 gone are the days ya put 20 bux in for the night
now its 50 min

[Wagon_Wheel]

I dont really fuss about the petrol prices..... premium every week and filled up every week, normally costs about $80 a week average, but i need petrol... so i get petrol, no point fussing about it

[Lumps of cheese]

Meh, i just fill up when it's empty.You need it whether the price is high or low.

[UNKNOWN]

I put fuel in on tuesdays, how much? depending on my wallet at the time! Lately... $20!
Dont care wat fuel I put in it... Its not a race car its a family sedan!

[Boonz]

i usually go thru about $80 a week... fill up whenever it gets down to about a third of a tank cos the price doesnt really change thru the week out in the sticks..... its just permanently high

[Julie]

Fill up on Tues night, run low half way through the week, put in $20 or $30 bucks to get through to next Tuesday.
