Fill Up Time.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

I am one of those people who HATES going to get fuel. So, today as the red light had been on for a couple of days I would take her for a bit of spit. I normally put in ten, or twenty quid and get bored of standing there.

 

I got carried away and brimmed it to the bottom of the filler cap. I got £50.01 in the tank (Tesco standard unleaded)

 

The point of this topic is not to moan about the price of fuel, but it brought back a memory of the last time I filled to the top a GTi, it cost 32 quid.

 

Times change.

 

Oh, I got no fuel spillage !!

The ONLY time I brimmed the 205 was the day I bought it. I'm not going to bother with the 306. Too depressing.

I got £60 into the 306 the other day

[Jrod 7]

£70 in the 405! lasts me a month or more though.

Pah, Not a huge amount but I see a good £80.00 a week in the old 406 on one fill up

In an average week I spend whatever 50 Litres costs me, but on a busy week like the passed few im forking out for 100-150 litres. Oh the joys of motor racing!

can't remember the last time I put more than £20 in my car, think of the extra weight!!

[Paulmac19 4]

Well it takes 80ltrs and £100.00 @ £1.25 a ltr to fill my E 7 Taxi

That's £10 more than it cost me for 2 new front commercial 6ply tyres last week

 

In contrast when i was 17, that's 22 years ago it used to cost me £8 quid to fill my Mini

[notamondayfan 44]

Yea it sucks, I filled up my bike the other day, £5.41, and that will only last 2 weeks!

306 takes just over £60 and its all gone by the weekend

I remember filling up my GTM kit car (mini petrol tank) for £13 "when I was young" but I never used to run it to red - even so, I bet you're only talking £15 or so for a fill-up. Mind you, not the biggest tanks in the world

lol £10 at a time ftw

[swordfish210 20]

I brimmed my 405 once and it cost me nearly £80...and it only lasted 300 bloody miles!!!!!!!!

[asdf205 0]

£45 is the most i can get in from empty. Managed to squeeze £110 into the Range Rover and it barely lasted 300 miles.

About £50 to brim my 1.1 Saxo, not sure on the 205 as I've not driven it for nearly a year

 

But two points, surely filling up once a month is much better than a little fill every week? And why on earth were you putting standard in a 205?

Iv always put standard in mine, is that not good??

The standard engine (both 1.6 and 1.9 as I remember) is set up for Super Unleaded and will lose power if run on regular. Plus you're talking about a couple of quid difference over a tank!

I always fill up just before the price goes up, otherwise i just put £20 at a time.

Even for the older engines 87 - 88?

Yes, they would have run 4 star, which is about 98 ron.
