Most you've paid to fill up your car

[HughJarse]

Surely it splashes all over as you drive?

 

[evdok]

As much as i hate getting out to refuel, i never park up leaving the car on low due to me using it couple of times a week i try to avoid the c*** settling thus prolonging the life of the injectors & having a smooth running engine.

 

[lil.smartie]

£25 in my smart if it's really empty.... and I'll get 250 miles + from that......

Thought I'd fill the car right up, due to me being lazy on these cold days! and boy was i in for a shock.

£77

In all the years I've been driving this is the most I've paid to fill up

Mind you its telling me i have nearly 700mls of motoring...mmmm

NY Resolution: Wishing my 320CDI could ever be optimistic enough to give me a 700 mile range....

 

[MBManInKen]

Not 700 miles, but I do get around 540 motorway miles out of my 90 liter tank on the s-class, without actually running it dry. Not bad for a V8 .

My previous one had a 100 liter tank, but far less mileage .

If you want to go small my 750ss will fill up on less than £10 from empty and will happily do an average of 45mpg on mixed city/highway And thats still not the smallest The roadster (cagiva) takes about £7 from bone dry and I've never been ablt to run it empty! I usually end up spending £4/£5 for a refill (no fuel gauge on it)

When swmbo arrives home, I know the tank will be almost empty, my local SADA( I was going to respell, but it looks better ) is just £1.001 per litre at the moment so I guess it will be around £74 to fill it up

BP Ultimate Diesel

£71 this morning - virtually empty - and this is the smallest tank on an E-Class

 

[A210AMG]

My ML takes about £70 empty (only put supermarket basic stuff in it)

It only does around 250 miles on that.

I tend to fill it up on 3/4 of a tank and it costs around £55 daft I know but this way it feels the same as the cars I had before it...

If you drive 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, you won't have a problem. Corrosion will begin everytime it is parked for more than a few hours, especially overnight when the temperatures drop. Thats when condensation will most likely form.

Slightly underestimated, tank was emptier, ASDA was closed so had to pay more expensive price, result £84.00

If you wanna talk bikes, Smarts get better MPG than an SP1!!

My city-coupe gets 55mpg, tweeked CDi forfour gets 60mpg and a CDi fortwo around 80mpg all my driving which as a biker isn't slow!

We have 1 customer who managed a run from Southampton to Liverpool and back with an average of about 100mpg in his CDi fortwo!!

 

[rf065]

By no means the most I've paid, but, my tank was just over a quarter full this morning when I stopped at Tesco, I put £30 worth in and the tank was still showing less than three quarters full. It is not even a big tank? You don't get far for your money any more.

[Bobby Dazzler]

We had a B150 (or B170 petrol?) a few weeks ago. Fuel warning light was on. Put £7 in and blooming light eas still on!!

 

[Mactech]

A couple of years ago I was up at Oulton Park with my son racing his bike and staying at the circuit in our caravan. The portable tv went on the blink in the afternoon, so we went to the local Tesco bought a new tv and filled the Vito van up. Fuel was £65 and the new colour tv £59!
Rewind 25 years and try to imagine the sort of laghter that would have ensued if you told people that one day it would cost more to fill with fuel than to buy a colour tv!
Just about to put £85 worth in the S Class and travel another 750 miles.....

 

[IanA2]

It's not how much but how often..............actually it's both......too much too often

Is 40mpg optimistic? i get this quite often and the worst I've ever got is 32.5 on a brisk journey

Ah, but can the CDi fortwo get to 60 mph in less than it takes to say congestion-charge? and the 750ss isn't an efficient bike, its a SuperSport with a range of barely under 150miles

The Cagiva I really am not kidding; I refuelled it at most 5 times in the three years I've owned it (and I used to use it to get to the underground station from home every morning when I went to college). I can't find any official figures, but its an impressive lawnmower

32.5 on a brisk journey ????

I blew £80.00 in an hour at bruntingthorpe in November and i still ran out.

 

[OzC36]

I spent 35 GBPs (or AU$79) today when I put 56 litres of 98 octane premium in the tank of my C36.

But times are tough and the price of petrol is very high.
