Normally I'll fill up at half but when it's empty it will cost me $75. Can't stand it when I pay that much for petrol

I fill up with 25L of E85 and about 32L of 98 and it costs me between $70-$80 to do about 400km per tank. City traffic driving and some spirited runs.

About $15 per week.

I work from home and don't have a life. Usually fill up once per month (depending on whether grandkids come to us or we go to them).

Roughly $70-80 per week. Stupid fuel costing so much. $60 used to do me easily. It also depends on how much my right foot behaves itself

approx. $120 (3 tanks) a week between 2 cars on LPG. The missus does 120km round trip + running errands around town on weekdays and I do the school run @ 35km a day round trip + the odd errand(read fishing, shhhh) so which ever car is lowest on gas gets taken to Pt Lincoln for filling cos it's 15cpl cheaper there than Tumby Bay.
