How much do you drive, and how much do you spend on fuel?

Thought this could be an interesting topic of discussion,

I'm currently doing 50,000km+/year at the moment mostly just work driving, might average 100km worth of driving on my weekends normally.

Spending around $700/month on fuel, average 6.5L/100km or there about, using 98 in my daily, if I used my ute as my daily then it would double my fuel costs as it does 12L-15L/100km

How much driving do you do and what are you guys spending a month on fuel?

I'd save a significant amount on monthly fuel costs if I switched to an EV with off peak charging, but I don't particularly want to spend $60K-$70K to save say $3-400/month on fuel or something, $60K buys me a lot of 98

My daily for work and run around is S3 AU ghia v8 on gas. Works out to about 8 bucks return trip to work a day. About 320kms a week just for work. Weekends I alternate between 4 cars . I do about 25000 a year.

My daily is a 2009 Smart Fortwo, I do roughly 1200 Ks in the Smartie each month, I fuel up roughly every 3 weeks @ $45-50 a tank, so about $8-900 a year, still cheaper than catching the bus including insurance and Rego

This year, I've been travelling to work only four days a week. So that's about 440km. On top of that, I do about another 100km or so of general running around. So, around 500 to 550km a week.

That's one gas tank for the Ute. Or, around 70 litres of LPG. At $1 a litre (which it is generally a little under), that's about $70 a week on direct transportation costs.

I think the “Travelling in style” award goes to portokatsiki.

I travel to the office 3 days a week - 61km round trip so that's 183km. Add another 150-200km for other driving (school drop off/etc) call is 385km a week. Wifeys Everest does the rest, I just dont keep track of KM's/etc in that.

I normally take the SS to work 1 day a week (unless weather is crap) and use the Sorento for everything else. Fill it up every 2 weeks normally at $90 a tank. Average 7.5l/100lm ish

For the SS, It does 1 day a week to work (61km trip) and one or 2 track day/cruises per month. I probably fill it up once a month...lol Average consumption is about 14l/100km which, considering 600hp and city driving, isnt all that bad.
