I fill it up about once a fortnight and spend about £30.

JARM · 17/04/2007 17:02

Bearing in mind i do 1 or 2 trips to Ipswich a week to visit my dad (50 mile round trip) I usually go through about £20 every 10 days or so on petrol.

USed to be more when DH was working, as used to drop him off and pick him up 5 days a week, but now not doing that.

I have a 2ltr saloon car.

SillyMillysMummy · 17/04/2007 17:14

bowt £25 a week, but i'm not out every day and get groceries delivered (i spend less that way)

sniff · 17/04/2007 17:18

about £15 a week but its a big car and an extra £50 whenever I get to go home to birmingham which is as often as I can afford or find the time

to be honest apart from taking DS2 to nursery if Dh isnt home it hardly moves

pinkspottywellies · 17/04/2007 17:30

About £50 a month unless I go to see my mum or dad (both 200 miles away) or other long journeys. I'm out and about 4(ish) days a week, into town, swimming, seeing friends etc. I walk if i can though.

Frascati · 17/04/2007 17:31

£30-40 a week

pinkspottywellies · 17/04/2007 17:32

meant to add - just got rid of a Jaguar cos it was more like £50 a week!

LadyMacbeth · 17/04/2007 17:33

misdee · 17/04/2007 17:37

a normal week about £10 a week.

a normal week with dh in hospital £60+

laughingduck · 17/04/2007 17:38

About £40 per fortnight. My car is our main one and ferries us all about at the weekends too so does about average mileage. It is a mini MPV.

idlemum · 17/04/2007 17:39

No more than once a month - and sometimes once every 6 weeks. Walk dd to school so most of mileage for shopping as we live 5 miles from nearest town. If we have to visit relatives then the mileage goes up as the nearest are 45 miles away and most are in excess of 60 miles.

cremolafoam · 17/04/2007 17:43

about £20 a week which 1/2 fills it.(small car)
i do about 10,000 miles a year, going nowhere, but we live in the stix.
dh has a big car and uses bio diesel and only spends about £30 a month.
