I have just filled my car up

[stevegreen]

......and it cost me £88

How much have you paid recently?

[Fusewire]

Mine costs £62 to fill up from empty... it cost me £46 the first time I filled it up when I first had it.

[Dony]

I paid £80 yesterday from empty......that will last me until Monday.

[mjn]

Haven't paid for fuel in over 2 years, so no idea.

[madcyril]

Just short of £80 this morning,I'm gonna have to use my Gixxer more often I think.

[Cyland101]

£96 last weekend... admittedly it has a 70-75L tank! But still it hurt! Not too long now until it breaks the £100 mark

Ouch!

I paid at 130.9 for a litre of diesel, the garage down the road had it at 134.9. Luckily it lasts me about 2 weeks as I have got into the habit of rolling everywhere that I can, that gets me 53mpg on average in a Laguna Tourer 1.9D.

Just looking at my receipt I got 58.81 litres @ £1.35 giving a grand total of £79.40.

I have a 2.0D and average about 43mpg due to the type of driving I have to do...country roads, up mountains etc (my job). I do anywhere between 700 and 1000 miles a week.

Really looking forward to it breaking £100 a fill (£1.69 / litre)
I wonder will we hit that figure before the end of the year?

When I first had my car in 04 it tended to cost a little over £40. Last time I filled it was £64.15.

My Passat Estate takes over £80 if the light is on. The worse thing is that at Asda's self service pumps they only let you draw £70, so I have to put a different card in for the last £10 or so which probably annoys the person waiting behind me as they think I've finished, then I lift the pump again. I claim back the mileage at 13p/mile (the rates have only just gone up) so it's in my interest to eek as much out of a tank as possible othewise I'm paying to drive for my company. 'Free' fuel cards aren't worth having for me as the extra tax (£80 permonth IIRC) wouldn't be worth it for me as I do so little private mileage....I even manage all my DIY/AV shopping trips on route to different jobs. Just been shopping for a new HD camcorder while I'm in Guernsey today/tomorrow, but the web seems better value. At least I didn't drive here and the hire car has a full tank already that I'll never use up on these little roads!

Looking forward to the mini-cab prices going up too - it's been the best part of £3 a mile around my way for years - it'll be £5 soon.

[Beetlejuice]

I guess I'm lucky in that it only costs me approx £40 to fill up my small engine

I don't use the car much for pleasure, mostly work, and as a casual car user can claim back 45p a mile so it's not too bad really.

[Idioteque]

Around £30 a time for me... yes i know i only have a 1.0l.


But i love my yaris

[Uridium]

£70 to fill the Alfa GTV up.

Last tank full only lasted for 260miles though due to a faulty MAF sensor

[Bilbob]

about 14 quid....
Oh, my car? That's in my sv1000.... gets me about 120-130 miles depending on my 'wrist action'

The car has now broken 60 quid... mondeo 1.8 td...gets about 460-520 miles
