My car depends IF I push it in & I use full FAST speed or slower speed,most is $90 the car has a 42L tank,but I can push in 44L's (thats a hot day & FAST fill,less on slower fill)does make a difference.

75 bucks

I don't n just got today its a 1800cc, my last car was 2ltr and sniffed out the gas like amywinehouse snorting cocain,

Theoretically. $67 but it would have to be bone dry. Usually about $45 which gives us 650Km of normal running or over 800km if doing long open road runs. Theoretically we could do about 1250km of long open road running on a tank if we ran it dry.

That's our commuter, I have never been able to squeeze more than 22 litres in the campervan but I fill it quickly when the light comes on. So that ones about $47.

We have others but those are the most interesting.

$183.With fuel at $2.16/l

Peugeot 306 has a 67L tank so it costs about $130 when filling with 98, but I can get about 750km out of that.

The Lotus takes just under 39 Litres so about $85, but generally that'll only get me about 500km.

ninja_man, Feb 2, 11:03am
$100

clark20, Feb 2, 11:31am
$162 the other day, normally $150

the-saint1, Feb 2, 11:40am
55 litres, why ask!

westwyn, Feb 2, 11:57am
Last fill I think was around the $185 mark, on premium fuel. 85 litre tank. Ouch.

thejazzpianoma, Feb 2, 1:15pm
By my calculations if the NZD/USD went as low as it did 10 years ago, but crude and tax's remained at todays level, fuel would go up to about $3.46 a litre for premium.

Westwyn's 85 litre tank would then cost $294 to fill from dry.

Something to ponder.

I can squeeze 140-150 (72 litre tank, EL wagon), normally use 100-120/week

I got that question on my car auction the other day .didnt see the point.

stevexc, Feb 2, 8:04pm
About $120 of 95 octane which gets me around 500km.

I can't understand how people can work out their fuel economy by saying they get so many K's to a tank of petrol. Size of tank and engine makes a huge difference. We have 3 cars, One does just over 700K's to a tank, one does about 600, K's and the wee one does 760 K's. All get the same amount of hiway/town driving. This by no means tells you how economical each car is.

mrsscubasteve, Feb 2, 8:36pm
$80 from bone dry and 600km that's with hill climbs twice daily.

shorebee, Feb 2, 8:48pm
good points, its not thecost of petrol as thatvaries,itstherate it uses it and some have smaller tanks, my awd legend was about 155 to fill (70 Ltrs) and i got about 450ks, my focus is about $55 to fill (40 litres) and does 750 ksaround town and 900-1100 on a trip

msigg, Feb 2, 9:20pm
reggienz is correct, and there are so many driving factors /conditions that have a bearing on all this, even environmental factors. Just be happy and drive what you can afford. That's life.

kazbanz, Feb 2, 9:26pm
