HE HE what's this "off boost" you speak of? I go through about 30 to $50 per week as my girl hardly gets driven. Oh Mitchay you shouldnt have too many issues with fuel starvation (on the street) the issue only becomes a real problem at the track, head into a left hander hard and the pump runs dry and as you are powering out then you run out of fuel and lean out cylinder 2......POP goes the weasel!!!

Car: 2005 Ford Fiesta WP Zetec
Fuel: Whatever the pump has. 98 RON if its there. Favourite is Vortex 98, but I'm not picky. Driving: I drive quite a bit. At least 90km a day, but usually more. Seven days a week. How Much: Going by my last three fuel bills which span a week, they were $43.56 (36.03 litres Vortex 98), $43.95 (34.1 litres Vortex 98) and $42.60 (35.83 litres Vortex) that adds up to $130.11 I've spent on petrol in the last six days. That's about 1300km in those six days. From my last tank full, 415.8km from 35.83L that's about 8.62L/100km, which is 1L above what it usually is, I put that down to a bad batch of fuel. And yeah, 45L tank, I fill up when the digital fuel gauge is down to the two little thin bars at the bottom, usually about ~10-12L left in the tank at that point.

I forgot to add that my car is driven all week with exception to most Sundays as I'm too wasted to drive and today was no exception :. Hopefully keep the milelage down a bit.

About $75 per week is spent on fuel. I have a BP card though the 5% off always helps.

My XR8 on gas costs around $35 per week for between 300 and 350 km. The wagon probably $15 per week in fuel - it is in danger of going off before we ever fill the damn thing!

A $79 annual fee means you have to spend over $1580 per year before you break even from the 'savings' on fuel. The maximum fuel based saving is on $300 of fuel per month, which is a saving of $15, thereby $180 per year. Take the annual fee away and then you're down to $81 a year. Or a maximum saving of $6.75 a month. |

Car: AU2 XLS ute
Fuel: Normal Unleaded. Pretty much always from Peak Sawyers Valley. Driving: about 550kms a week. Sometimes more if its a busy weekend. Half hwy, half suburbia. How much per fortnight: Too bloody much. I think its starting to get about $150 a fortnight. The ute has a bloody huge tank compared to my old little hatch back. The price we pay for having nice cars. |
