Fuel Cost for Exotic Cars

[Mattk]

Yeah, I don't think people drive Veyrons to work everyday.

[dutchmasterflex]

If you actually had a Veyron, why the hell wouldn't you drive it to "work" everyday?

[Mattk]

I guess that's true. Most people who can afford a Veyron don't really "work" very hard...

Fair enough, I guess, but the original point still stands - people don't drive exotic cars on a day-to-day basis.

Crazy amount just for gas but most people don't drive them everyday so it's definitely off a bit;

...probably a stan, but FAY anyway... :bah:

thats not really impressively bad gas mileage.

Why would multi millionaires and billionaires be people that dont work hard? If they are that rich they are probably extremely hardworking people.

[Mattk]

They're probably retired. Of course, they once worked hard, unless you're Paris Hilton.

hey its hard work being a whore and trademarking phrases like "Thats Hot"

well image how much it would cost to fuel a Veyron in the UK - "gas" in the US is cheap - don't moan :wink:

[DeMoN]

wtf! thats wayy too much...

also remember, if you shelled out 200K+ for a car, what the hell do you care if it's 60 bucks to fill the tank every week :wink: that's couch change to these guys

[TNT]

well, that is pretty cool but i wonder what kind of milage that they based that on/

60 bucks = 40 GBP = 42 litres of fuel over here - a single tank in a small car.

You guys have it too good.

yeah but in the last year our gas prices have doubled.

[Skaala]

I get 0.93l/100km on average of a 100litres tank... city is 2,5l/100km on the A8

Some do... see quite a number of exotics in the downtown area here in Vancouver. In fact, I saw a yellow F40 during rush hour yesterday (Friday afternoon) going the direction away from downtown (presumably leaving work?).

of course, it's all relative.

Even if your fuel was really cheap to begin with, doubling the price has a massive impact.

Anyways - after dropping £130k on a 430, fuel wouldn't be a worry of mine. Fuck - as if most people will do a years average mileage in their 430? :roll:

Well in all fairness I see people driving their Bentley CGT's and Flying Spurs and AMG 65's and MB600's and M5's and Ferrari's and Aston Martins and Porsches and Corvettes and the like EVERY day where I work so there are people that drive Uber exensive exotics on a daily basis to and from their Jobs.

Oh and I spend roughly $100-120 a WEEK on gas so you do the math over a single year...
