Wow, petrol is really getting expensive, hey

[atomcrusher]

This weekend it cost me R 611.58 to fill up my tank. It has never cost that much before.

That statement is similar to the question "how long is a piece of string". i.e. it's meaningless without stating the capacity of the fuel tank, or how many litres were dispensed

Must be that heavy foot Humberto referred to.

Maybe I'm slow after all these holidays, but what does a heavy foot have to do with how much it costs to fill up your tank?

lol, do you really need me to explain it?

No, it costs me R950 to fill a tank. its going to cost me R950 whether I constantly drive at 180 km/h or 60 km/h, whether I tow a caravan or not. Its going to cost me the same to fill up.

Now, if the topic was fuel consumption...

 

[Saba'a]

Heavy foot has to do with how many times u fill up not how much to fill a tank so question of yingyang is valid. What has cost of filling a tank to do with heavy foot. Unless tank was not empty. This begs question what is the capacity as atomcrusher put it so nicely ito the string analogy.

maybe I confused it with the FIFA World Cup

I pay well over R750 for a tank, are you getting cheaper fuel or something?

I need to pay more than that, if the car's petrol tank is empty, to fill it.

I pay less if my tank is half empty.

 

[Type RSA]

Yeah it is, cost me R135 to fill up the other day...

 

[bwana]

I pay less if my tank is half empty.

And if your tank is half full?

Yes, must be the case.

I noticed this upwards trend in fossil fuel pricing a few years ago. I did not like it. Round about the same time I started to like cycling... problem solved. My fuel cost came down from R1200 per month (filling up 4 times back then) to R500 (filling up once now).

 

[Drifter]

Nice, I can hardly cycle to work. 60 kms one way.

Find a job closer to home, I did when my company moved from being 9km from home to being 45km from home.

OMG. That is so simple. I don't know why i didn't think of that.
