Default Re: How much do you spend on fuel a week/fortnight?

the ute cost about $90 to fill for 220km-250km per week, the eb costs the same to fill (both e10) but lasts a fortnight and gets about 380km-420km. Either way it doesn't worry me much anymore, if you need it or want it you'll pay it, and i'll pay it cause i want to drive my v8's around and enjoy them. If i didn't i'd buy a pushie.

Default Re: How much do you spend on fuel a week/fortnight?

it is funny it is a nicer car to drive on lpg than it is on petrol, motor seems to run a lot smoother and have had it rev to 5g no problem. considering it only has an impco 225 on it its amazing. the only thing is when it starts to get low on gas it will backfire so try not to let it get below 1/4 very often.

On average $40 a week in the AU and $60 a week in the EB (doing the same amount of driving)

Also depends on the driving. That can triple those amount rather easily!
