how much do you reckon you spend on fuel a month?

work and leisure

Around £70 – £80, I love diesels.

About £300 virtually all work.

Around £60-70 diesel.

£0 formerly £400

About 120pm, all leisure.

100 quid a month 26 miles per day. Just realised what’s been causing my horrendous mpg – the front wheels spin 0.5 revolutions when hoisted up. Some serious brake issues!

£54

I only put fuel in once a month.

100 quid leisure
300 quid + for work (all diesel)

About 1 tank per month = £100.

All leisure.

About £500 a month.

£200 a month for commuting to work @ 62 miles per day
£50 a month for leisure

I don’t know but we do around 6000 miles a year and average around 50mpg so a lot less than most. My wife walks to work and cycle.

Roughly £600, mostly work, I average about a 1000 miles a week.
🙁

About £160 usually.

£20-£30 8)

I love my scooter, £7 for a full tank, 100mpg~

£150 a month on work fuel, the 60+ mpg ibiza helps a lot with this and then probably the same again in the van for races and riding.

£250, over £200 of that is commuting.

£0.00
😀

I reckon about £300-£350….

we just had photovoltaic solar panels installed and I’m thinking a Nissan leaf would be a good idea – plug in during daylight hours for free juice, no road tax….save about £5k a year!! Trouble is the car will cost £26k…although can be had on a lease for about £300/month…will have to sit down properly and do the maths!

£0

🙂

judging by the responses for far I’m at the higher end of the scale

about 200 quid a month in an efficient car that gets 50mpg+

almost 60 miles a day for work

Trouble is the car will cost £26k

I can’t understand the Nissan Leaf, it seems v steep to buy

About £150 per month, 90% commute to work I expect.

I guess about £10-£20. All leisure – though I’m not sure going to the supermarket counts as leisure.

Normally less than a tank so £50? Split with the other half.

Neither or us commute by car and only drive for leisure. I can’t actually remember when we last filled up so might even be closer to a tank evey 2 months.

Fill up twice a month, £80 each time. Pretty much all work. My missus wants a freelander 2 or a Q5 next !! 😯

~£200

between me and the wife, just under £400 😥

£20-30ish.

Velocipede – my mondeo cost £4k 2 years ago, and I do 100 miles commute daily. Surly that’s better value than spending £26k?

I know exactly. I keep a record on Road Trip on my phone! (geek alert!)
In the last month, for example:

Car – £205.67 average 42.2mpg, 1.6 petrol Focus estate

Motorbike – £159.56, average 45.8mpg, Ducati ST3s, 992cc, but that gets ridden a fair bit harder than I drive the car….

All of our car fuel comes out of my work expenses though, and about £45 of that bike fuel did too
🙂

a trillion dollars

Just a thought, but can any of these mpg numbers people are quoting be backed up with cold, hard statistics?

Or is it just a guess or a trip computer?

Do you not trust trip computers? Mine says if I drive very carefully I can achieve 37mpg. Or drive with a bit more welly for 30.

Which means in a month I spend approx £150 pretty much all commuting.

I’m not sure anyone is as anal conscientious as you PP.
About £100 for me & family.

pp, serious question, how do you know the trip distance is right? if i look at speedo and a gps the two give differing speeds, i would suspect the distances differ as well.

This much.

Just a thought, but can any of these mpg numbers people are quoting be backed up with cold, hard statistics?

Ye I keep a spreadsheet and record the number of litres I put in to reach full tank/pump cutoff

As well as recording the price per litre and mileage of the car at the point of fill

£20-30 normally, everything local!
