Poll: How much did you spend on fuel a week?

With the prices on fuel nowadays, I'm just curious on what you guys are spending for ya weekly fuel.

After speaking with a friend about getting a RX-7, he says 'bad timing'. I say to him, I just spent $170 last week on fuel?" LOL
  • =< $50 ??
  • $ 50 - $ 90 ??
  • $ 90 - $130 ??
  • $ +130 ??
(can't seem to figure out how to insert a poll )

There is no box for 'Too Much'


I kid. i use the same tank of peddie for about two weeks / three weeks..

5kms from school x2 = 10 kms
5kms to work x2 = 10km

20kms aday is pretty good (some days its only 10)

So when ever i fill up i do it all the way so around $60?

About $50-60 per fill (Premium 95). I generally get though 2/3 of a tank each week If I am just going to work and back and the odd drive here and there. I generally fill up on a Sunday or Monday as well, fuel tends to be cheapest then.

Sometimes I get though more if I use my own car for work use when all the company vehicles are taken, but I get reimbursed quiet generously for that.

about $150 plus.
depends on which cars need filling - in most cases all.

I spent just this weekend on top up $40 on the Mazda 2 plus $55 on the Lexus and then tomorrow full fill on the 2 per normal. This excludes my other cars because they aint' running.

but before It was easy $100 a week, so I'd say $130 $140 now.
but I can tell you all now.
it aint' going to get easier

Those new Mazda2's look really good, especially the 3 door ones. Would make a nice economical daily driver..

but costing at least $17k for a new one.. I'd rather get this($16k)

but then you'd have no fuel economy

LOL I just finished work and I *had* to fill up cause the fuel indicator light went on. The closest BP with Ultimate 98 was East Perth BP, and it was $1.80 a litre

Filled up the whole tank for $80.00, lol. I only got 340km's from a full tank too, and this is from my other MX-6 Turbo which is my daily driver. I'll prob fill up my MX6T2NV tomorrow night too

I dunno how those uni/tafe students with cars can afford going to and from school-work nowadays

340km to a tank. you guys are lucky. 260km to a full tank (petrol is $1.65 v-power) in the 1jz cressida If i drive to work ($80 per fill), its 60km round trip so got to fill up twice a week. Then i would spend $75 on the 626 for weekend cruising. So thats $200+ per week on fuel.

its easy to afford petrol when your going to uni, cause you dont have to buy food things and stuff like older mature people do, its just alcohol and cars for us young whipper snappers

I live heaps close to work and uni, so I dont drive very far. I spend $50 in one week, and that lasts me tuesday till tuesday. This doesnt include a weekend though if I decide to go hooning.

i'm lucky if i can squeeze 300km out of a full tank in my MX6 turbo. I drive mostly in peak hour traffic (fun!) to and from work. It costs me $80 (PULP) to fill the tank.
