What does it cost to fill your tank.

[Jev88]

£120 - LPG
£400 - Petrol.

(estimated as only use petrol as reserve).

 

[nicholsong]

I don't worry about the cost of fuel, I only ever put £30 in

(Trigger from only fools & horses sketch)

That is like my Basia who always puts into the car Polish Zloty 100 and then again when it needs it, without knowing the price.

I clock the price every morning while I am dressing as the Shell price board can be seen from our bedroom window. Diesel reached 7.73 last week and is back down to 7.46, (£1.38). Petrol is £1.29. The two prices used to be 1-2p apart till the oil crisis.

People often ask what do iou get to the gallon I look and shrug, no idea I could work it out but really don't want to know .

Bought my new to me van in the borders and fuelled up at the super market for the return to Scotland £100 on the first credit card (until the pump cut off) and £100 on the second credit card! It still wasn’t totally full!!!!

I imagined the current fuel costs would reduce the number of motorhomes seen this summer, it doesn't seem that way where where we've been...

£200 quid ? I'm guessing it isn't the van in your avatar then lol.

 

[bobnick]

Filled the bike yesterday from almost MT, £27.53.
Filled the scooter last week from almost MT £9.71
Motorhome, a lot more.

 

[Landy Andy]

£214 put in my van on Sunday.

Ouch. That is why I never let mine get below half full. Last fill was £150 from a fraction under half. Of course, it makes no difference in the end but makes me feel slightly better about it

 

[funflair]

Less than a couple of months ago but still more than it should

I don’t normally but had engine issues so wanted to run it low, just in case, then I put additives in the tank, which is better with less fuel.

 

[bexleyjohn]

£1.80 yesterday at Morrisons in Sittingbourne so with a range of 62 miles left (according to onboard computer) it cost me £100.11 to fill up!

Very good reasoning - I used Forte in the first van prior to MOT time

Around €240! Travelling from Germany to southern Portugal in about 2 weeks.

 

[SpeedyDux]

It is crazy expensive now to buy a tankful of diesel. Especially the Supreme premium stuff.

When I have about £40 worth of Nectar points I use them to buy a top-up of diesel ordinaire at the Sainsbugs fuel station. It isn't really free diesel, but it feels like it.

Sod carrying all that weight around lol. Never that far from a petrol station

I know Tam I should have said to the seller “I’m not buying your van cos the fuel tanks too big!”

 

[Gingernuts]

I’ve also heard you don’t have to fill it to the top!

But when you are using a whole tankful in one stretch on M/Ways it is more expensive to fill up than the loss of mpg due to weight

What motorway are you on that you use 200 quid of diesel in a fiat pvc?

Even this big slug gets 310 mile to a tank

 

[Northernraider]

Well you were the one that said you put £100 in at one station and another £100 in the next .

 

[Gingernuts]

No I said I used two cards (as £100 was the pump limit) as you can’t use the same card on the same transaction twice! Morrisons Berwick on Tweed.

Regardless it was still £200 you put in the tank which was why I asked in the first place.

I have just done a round trip from Kent to Argeles sur mer totle cost 630euros=£530 total mileage 1620. Average price 1.76 euros

 

[Mike59]

£596 Petrol
£180 LPG

 

[Leakylunar]

£136 for our bilbos , getting 33-37mpg, that I can live with. Done 1300 in the last 12 days.

 

[Mike Rivers]

1.795 Euros for Diesel Supreme at E. Leclerc, St Jean Angely. Before that £2.029 at Esso Staplehurst for Supreme+. That worked out at £154.24. Certainly at these prices, fuel is expensive so try to keep cruising speed to about 55 mph. Fuel consumption at last fill (in France) worked out just over 30 mpg.

 

[Gunn1707]

Filled my Autotrail up today as it was on empty, £177 litre and it took £114.90. Not too bad. Range showed 410 miles.
