how much fuel?
 
heya guys, guna be a tough topic 2 answer due 2 the various metric and imperial systems.

but how much fuel do u use a week under
regular driving
thrashing it
in L if u can :)
and cost in $US if u can (althoe im australian, most curenceys are compared to the $US:))

TT 07-29-2003 12:11 PM

Uhm.. in a week.. hard to tell, I think around 35 liters (9 US Gallons) in normal driving mode, 60 or more if trashing the car I guess (16 gallons)

Here fuel is around 1.34 Swiss francs / liter = 1 USD/liter

So in an average week I think I spend around 35 USD in fuel...
But I have to say I never really paid attention, so I'm only guessing :)

interceptor_01 07-29-2003 12:40 PM

in a week?

can´t tell ya

but from 4l (without ac) to 7.5l (fullspeed at autobahn) per 100km

gis 07-29-2003 05:43 PM

Jabba 07-29-2003 05:47 PM

Right now I pay $0 for gas. I don't have a car right now as I simply do not need one. Work is a mere 5 minute walk. I'll probably buy one soon, I miss driving.
So there ya go, I beat everyone! Even gis's econo machine!

gis 07-29-2003 05:56 PM

Jabba, the only thing gis's car has over your Diablo is more room for more ladies! Although the caliber of the women you can get with a Diablo is probably much better! Not that you need it, you are a sexy bitch right Jabba? just kidding just kidding :lol: :lol: :lol:

lol,get them to walk there asses up a hill,goin down,just helps build up more speed :D

novass 07-29-2003 07:24 PM

my little 4 banger Audi gets good mileage. i fill it up probably once every two weeks. i dont drive it very far, only about 5 miles or less a day. theres enough stuff thats within bike riding range which saves a lot of time cause theres never parking around here anymore.

if i drive my Nova, i get a healthy 5-6 miles per gallon LOL i put a 15 gal fuel cell in the back. when i fill that up and go for a drive, i usually need to refuel on my way home. but its worth it :D

possessed_beaver 07-29-2003 11:51 PM

hahaha jabba may not have the room for the ladies, but he had the car to pull the ladies!

stracing 07-30-2003 12:24 AM

My old 106 1.4 was able of 650-680 km with only 45 liters :)

Now with 60 liters, I'm usually do 350... but on long highway trips, I can also have 500 or 550... so I guess I simply have an heavy foot at the stop lights ;)

on highways i drive it at 6th with the tach almost at idling speed. on quiet streets i drive at the higest possible gear. don't wanna wake up the grannies. my neighbour has complained to the cops b4. they can't do shit tho coz my car passes the laws

but on the track i use abt two full tanks for a few hours of fun

my fren celica gets 700kays, i'm surprised abt that

gis, 666fast -> Jabba probably prefers ladies of the slimmer variety so he does not require the extra room :lol:

Im running in at about $40 aussie a week.. without any hammering. When I start hammering i can spend upto $100.

interceptor_01 07-30-2003 01:49 PM

LOOOL, you´re all loosers...

i´m doing 1100km with a 55l tank......diesel rulz ;)
and 700km on a free autobahn :)

crochico 07-31-2003 04:48 PM

i drive both cars and the numbers are as follows:

1)my vehicle (purchased by father)
tank holds about 78 Litres (roughy 20 gallons)
i pay about 40-45$ to fill it up.. every 5 days or so
hard driving kills fuel economy and i barely get 400Km on a full tank, and i fill up in 3 days

2)fathers vehicle
tank holds about 90 Litres (roughly 23 gallons)
i topped it off today (80 litres of fuel), and it cost me 60$ (canadian).. again, every 5 days or so

sbbs 08-03-2003 01:42 PM

I use about RM30 of fuel every week. RM1.33 per liter.
