    I remember when the gauge on my car used to show 3/4 or full. Halcyon days!

    I have abandoned Petrol entirely and now run my car on LPG Autogas which costs between €0.80 to €0.99 in the places that sell it. Running my car hasn't cost this little in around 5 years.

    Not so long ago I felt really sad when I realised the person before me had bought 5euro in petrol. Maybe they don't drive much, but I couldn't help thinking they were so poor all they put in was a fiver:(

    Probably me! I basically fill it so thats the needle rises from the bottom slightly!

    My fuel indicator is gimped, so I have to sort of guess. For this reason, I keep it full, so top it up about twice a week.
    It's a great game :)

    Same with our car!

    If I'm filling, €50 would do it!

    When it gets three quarter of the way through the month, a tenner, twice a week, gets me and the OH to and from work! Not too bad compared to some ppl I Know! One of my friends puts at least €85 a week in his! :eek:

    I can't remember the last time I filled my tank, too much of a budget these days. I always go up in increments of five. Like if I accidentally went over the 20 i'd have to put in 25, I couldn't leave it at 21. It's the only thing i'm a bit OCD about.

    I'm generally busy, so I hate petrol stations because it puts me out of my way sometimes. Probably not helped by the fact that I've a thirsty girl. Shes 100+ to fill.

    Stick in 30 a week, I could probably get away with only putting in 20 but I hate having less than a quarter of a tank so I keep him topped up. You never know when you'll need to go an extra few miles like

    I always go full to empty and fill it all the way, last I got was €75 which will last me just under two weeks, well worth a diesel!

    Stop trying to turn us with your dirty diesel talk. How do you sleep at night.

    I put it £20 of diesel every week. My Mini Cooper costs about £50 or £60 to fill. Plus the road tax is only £20 for a year. Could not afford a petrol!

    This morning I put 42.23 euro into my petrol tank for the sheer hell of it. I am not conforming to rounding it off anymore. YOLO and all that. :p

    As I got older, this became more difficult. I tend to fill up or €100 max whichever comes first.

    Nozzle goes in, squeeze till it clicks off at full.

    All else is mindless pedantry.

    The GTI when empty costs about €90 max to fill, and that's a 55 l tank.

    The tank is actually only 70 litres. I thought it would cost 150 to fill because when I bought it the gauge was reading half full and I went to a petrol station to fill it and it took another 75 quids worth (75x2 = 150) but it turns out the gauge was fecked! It actually only costs around 115 to fill.
