[Misc] How Much Have You Spent / Saved on Petrol / Diesel Since Lockdown?
- Thread starter marlowe
- Start date
I don’t own a car.
Plane/Helicopter ?
About 1/2 through a tank of fuel bought about about a month ago, I usually have to fill the car up every 3 weeks.

We too will have saved when it is over. Not that we travel that much but the cumulative figure will be substantial.
Wise decision, min herre. I've always been a bit suspicious about these noisy steel dragons.
Driven about 8 miles in 3 weeks between us.
The lack of away games is saving me about a tank of petrol a fortnight alone !

What I spend on travel each week I have spent 3 times as much on booze and food. Know it's not good for me but while keeping to the rules it's worth it
This. Plus a fortune on rail fares from London when I'm too hungover to drive on Saturday morning!

Luckily nothing as only been out twice for shopping and had two thirds of a tank before lockdown. Can't see me needing to fill up for probably another month.

A fair slab. I normally do 40 miles a day mincing up to HH and back M-F, so I usually burn about £130 a month I'd say, with the other travel as well.
What I save in petrol I spend on beer for the garden though, whilst WFH.

I normally do 2 tanks a month at £85 a go. Reckon I’ve used about £25 in 2 1/2 weeks

This is the only good thing about the lock down! I live in the New Forest and work at Farnborough Airport. Usually do 130 miles a day at 62mpg. Saving around £400 a month!!

Only times I've driven in the past month has been to buy food; I've bought no fuel in that time and still have plenty in the car. I guess garages aren't doing well, either.

Wife and I spend roughly £30 each on petrol a week as our workplaces are 40-45 minutes in opposite directions. We must have saved near £200 so far.
