Hrm, maybe two tanks in a busy month, 400 miles, that would be £17 then. Laughing Razz

Suckers, a full tank £9 every pay day, so £9 every 4 weeks on the dot.

250km to a tank full.

Use it everyday, i rag it, i do silly things on it, let my inexperienced mates ride it, carry pillions.

*Adding up all the cost*

thats 200miles before fill up, £7 to fill. Roughly 400miles a month.



OOO roughly £7 to £14 a month depending on what i do and who uses it Very Happy

Just a thought but maybe those with 'bigger' bikes should of gone first. Just to make poor John look like he doesn't pay much.

With my current low income, about £9 per week. I don't use it to commute, infact i have no real 'need' for it other than for fun and freedom. (obviously its better to have one so you don't have to ask for lifts everywhere too)

When i get a new job, ill spend as much as i need to.

About 20-30 quid a month for the bike, and nothing for the car. Thank heavens for company fuel cards, I only pay tax Thumbs Up

My scooter does about 50 miles to a tank. I fill up every 2 - 3 days. It takes about £4 every 3 days.

So thats about £40 a month...

Don't use the car so zero for that.

About £10 on the bike, every fortnight. That gets me £177.8 miles to the tank these days. With the old air filter, I only got 100 miles to the tank!!!! Shows you it makes a real difference

The £100 I'll spend on diesel to go to and from work is the only constant really.

Haven't used the bike much recently, and haven't used the car to go anywhere interesting, so probably haven't gone much over that for January.

Get into the summer and I might be getting through a tankful each weekend in the bike (£13 or thereabouts) if I'm just riding about.

Do a trackday and it'll be the thick end of 2 tankfulls in the bike, plus a tank or more in the car if it's far away and I'm towing.

Don't like to think about that too hard actually. Confused

I’m guaranteed to spend £200 a month on fuel, sometimes more.
