Mine is about $90 to fill - thats the Nissan - the Pajero its been a while since we filled it from empty but at a guess I would say probably $150 (ouch!! - hence we are selling it - actually few reasons but more so cause we don't need a 7 seater anymore)

Last time I filled up (last month) it was $90 but I'm guessing that will have increased now. We used to fill up fortnightly but we're using our car as little as possible now and only fill up once per month.

I'm not sure when ours was last filled up  it's now only getting used in the weekends. So I'm guessing that it's costing $20 every 10 days?

I don't fill mie up, I put in $60 which should last about 2 weeks but sometimes I need a $20 top up. $60.00 only half fills it so it would be around $120 + to fill.

Hubby filled our car up the other night and it cost $108. We only fill it up once a fortnight on payday, but if the petrol prices keep going up we wont be filling it up anymore.

I only fill mine every 3-4 weeks depending on what i've been doing and last time was $95, dreading it this time as that was at $1.82 before it all shot up, and no doubt it will go up again before I have to do it again

To fill from empty would be about $120 I have a 60 litre tank. But I won't be doing that until I go to Waiouru and then will fill it up once a month for my trips away.
I put $40 in a week and that lasts me quite well now I don't use the car all that much. So if I continue that I might be able to get away with one week not putting any in it.

$60 nearly fills my car and that lasts me for a week, doing 96km a day to and from work. However, DH's car costs about double to fill. We are about to sell our cars and become a 1 car family. Here I come Looser Cruiser (the bus!)

To fill DF's Landcruiser is about $130 or so (diesel). Mine is about $80 to fill. I can put $40 in and it'll last me around 3-4 weeks. DF goes through about $60 a week

We've been a one car family for a while now and we fill up once a fortnight. Last fill up it was $99. Not looking forward to the price going up further.
Once bubs is here though, we won't be using the car much, so that will be savings the $$.

DH's big car (Legnum) costs about $150 to fill, we have never filled it yet though as its only his weekend car so $30 a week for that, then the small Lancer (the runabout car to save on tyres etc on the Legnum which cost $300 each) costs $80+ a week to fill which lasts only 5 trips to Burnham and back for DH, then my car gets $20 a week which only last me 2 trips to work (10 mins away) and 2 short trips elsewhere. So yeah we spent about $130 a week but that was before the $2 a litre so ouch.

Dh has got a 3.5 litre Maxima and costs him about $140 to fill up but I think it lasts him 2-3 weeks and I have got a Mazda 6. From empty it is about $120 when DS was at daycare I was spending $50-$60. Now he his at school is I am only spending about $30-$40 about every 10 days as his school his only 5 mins from home.
