What are you spending on fuel a week? I do about 4-500km a week, depending on what I decide to use it varies a bit, Worst is my Mitsi @ 13l/100km $160pw, best is the bike @ 3.5l/100km $45. Bike also has the bonus of reduced travel time but after a few days of rain it gets a bit old putting damp gear on each day

About $30 a week in my Peugeot or about 45 dollars a week in my Jaguar XJR. Don't do many kms though, but its also mainly rush hour Auckland driving.
Wife's car is a Mondeo diesel and does a lot more kms but uses probably 30 a week on average. but diesel RUC on top of that.

About $35 a week for my ute doing 300 ish kms plus diesel mileage. Hubby spends about $50 a month in his petrol ute doing about 140kms a month.

Not much at the moment - I’m on ACC following surgery so not doing the daily commute but generally use about a tank of 95 per month in my BMW 116 - the joys of small town living so about $100 a month after fuel discounts.

$25, that can last me from one week to 3, depending on how many times i go to the supermarket etc. If i end up driving for somebody else, ( sober driving & rescues ) it soon jumps from $25 up to $80 odd. Because ' rescues,' turn into ' wants' which turn into ' entertainments'.
Interesting, whats the figures on EV vs ICE? Like, obviously not worth getting a EV if you only spend $25, and theres not enough range & charging time if you spend over $200
Whats the ' best use scenario'? Taking kids to school- shopping- school- visits & entertainment driviing. Mostly short trips with charging time in' between.
Not, 400kms+ road trip both ways while towing a trailer & 4 adults in car.

About $180-$200 a week, 80% is just going to work and home, if I'm using my daily driver everyday when my other car can be $130 every 3 days if I'm using it everyday.

Not much, usually ride electric cargo bike, so a tank of fuel can last for 6 weeks maybe more.

Would be great if they remove the road tax from petrol, my boat only has a 250l tank and a 4.3 mercruiser but still every time it is filled up the govt is stealing a good chunk of money

Our primary transport is a Leaf which does a return run into town (50-60km) 4-5 days a week and the occasional weekend drive so about 250km/week. Its share of our off-peak electricity charge is around $10-$15/week.
The old Commodore that is the second vehicle gets into town about once a week and gets a fill-up about once a month, unless we go out of province which is rare, so around $25/week usually.

I couldn't agree more mate, and we're paying the additional Auck roading tax as well.

It wouldnt be so bad if all the ramps were funded along with the coastguard.
I wonder how much they actually take, im guessing it wouldnt be an insignificant amount

About 200 for the cars per week but the fuel bill gets eye watering with quads and tractors.
