If all other numbers are correct, it should be...

Litres per week: 72

That must be a full tank your going through every week?

Yeah sorry I dont know the exact amount of fuel used but I'm sure it under a tank a week. L/km is an average does get lower than that, I've done over 700km on just over 3/4 of a tank before. Country driving. Then again it goes a lot higher when I am driving in the city. Only an estimated average as I said.
