Just looked in my wallet and the last time I bought petrol was over 2 months ago. Given that the Mini is still full and the BM has over half a tank, at this rate it’s going to be another couple of months (at least) before I need to go near the filling station. That’s if it’s still there by the time I go back, of course..

I filled the e55 just before the lock down done a little Business mileage mileage next to nothing Private wise, She's down on a 1/4 tank.

I am down to one car. The E300 Hybrid. Its superb on fuel. Ive filled up once 7 weeks ago and still have 1/2 a tank. We have been shopping for 8 families so it is being used.
 
My local Shell garage is only down the road from me, less than a two-minute drive. I filled-up both cars to the brim just before the lockdown, so that I don't have walk into the shop any time soon (the pay at pump at my local Shell garage is PayPal only, I prefer to pay for fuel with AMEX). Both cars are now down to around 2/3 full.
 
Just before the lockdown.
 
Very good question, I never use cash for fuel and my Amex is away so as not to trigger my 2-4-1 so I'll check other card.

13th March.

Sorry, PayPal for fuel? How does that work?

On the 18th March was my last fuel purchase of 30.97l of V-Power Diesel. That’s all I could fill in the tank of a Merc. Before that on the 9th March I filled the Mini to the top with 39.52l of Shell Petrol. Merc at half a tank, Mini full.
 
Brimmed the CLS on April 8 then brimmed on May 8 with 65 litres of V-Power. My supermarket is a 6 mile round trip but somehow it becomes a 30 mile trip.
 
£50 worth of Tesco Momentum 5 weeks ago that took the gauge to 3/4 full.
Now between 1/4 and 1/2 a tank remaining. Might top up again shortly before the price increases.
 
16th Feb in the car and 18th March in the bike. I'm going to add a little fresh fuel to both this week just to freshen up what's in there. I don't want it going stale.
 
Filled the Forester with diesel around two weeks ago , done just 85 miles since.

Brought the BMW home from work today and decided to fill it up , for the first time in four months.

I have paid more in road tax than i have paid out in fuel recently.

Oh, sod that. There is a Shell station at the top of the road, but I never go there as their super unleaded is ridiculously expensive, and this is just another excuse at data mining. Why should I need an account to buy petrol off the forecourt? I’ll just go someplace else..

Fill up every 600 miles, so approx every 10 weeks

There's that... though I would have done the app thing if it wasn't ApplePay/PayPal-only.
