I always run my car until empty, just the way the cash cow rolls here. So I know that in a 70 litre tank of unleaded, I get around 480 - 515kms from a tank. I haven't filled it for a while, but can come back and update on the weekend when I do. The last time I filled up it cost me $92. It hurts!

Tough one to do, as it also depends on the type of driving you are doing. Lots of highway driving is more ecomomical that city driving. So someone in the country would on average get more km out of the same type of car than someone in the city.

True, well include that too then. My car costs exactly $100 to fill and its a weird amount like 64 litres or close... I put $50 in and get half a tank.... proper unleaded too not E10....
Petrol here is $1.46 a litre on a cheap day when I get petrol

might be a better comparison to do L per 100km's -
ours does about 10.5L per 100km's - v6 4wd
the little sports wagon i don't know - haven't tested since we got it - runs on the sniff of an oily rag. i put half a tank in about 6 weeks ago and just doing work and round the town trips, i still have about 1/8 of a tank now

ummmm a Hyundai ummmm lantra i think (can't check - DH has just taken it to pick up DD)
we've had it since about September last year, and we have put maybe 150 in it in that time. i take it to work, PO, next town over (about 25k round trip) and two or three times a fortnight, DH takes it to drop DD at Granma's, do his running around and then pick her up (about 65ks for the day). it is really economical! not bad for a car that we brought as a second hand second car - i think they severely undervalued themselves given it was twice as much on the web than we got it for - the "cheap" one we initially went to look at had a heftier price tag - we took the car same day!
I have a ford falcon BA station wagon. When filled, it says I can get around 510km from the tank. I generally fill it when I hit 80k to go as that is when the petrol light starts beeping at me. I usually fill it every couple of weeks or more. Don't go far in it, and could go even less further in it if I walked some more

I can get anywhere between 350 and 450kms a tank, depending on where I'm driving. I use 98 octane petrol all the time.
Driving approx 2,000 kms (90% of that highway driving) cost me about $160 at Christmas time, but the petrol was cheaper then.
I filled the tank on the weekend and it cost me approx $60. If I wasn't driving all over Victoria this weekend it would last me a couple of weeks, but I expect to have to fill it by the time Sunday afternoon comes around.

My 05 Mazda 3 will take a little over $60 to fill from dead empty if I remember rightly (it's been a while because I keep it topped up) and I've taken it 572km in city-type driving. Next time I run it out I'll try to remember to reset the clock and see how far it is and how much now - but it might take a while cause I generally get DH to fill up for me at the moment because the smell of petrol makes me want to barf!

I know my car is terribly uneconomical, mow I've just realized how bad!
It does get more to the tank when highway driving though(it seems to love highway driving).
It's a '95 auto 4.6l v8 Range Rover. (Apparently the auto makes a difference). I'm currently getting 17L/100km.before the engine blew up, it was about 14-15L/100km. But Dh put some sort of new cam in when he redid the engine and now the fuel economy is worse. It's improving though, when I got it back it was doing 17.2L/100km.
Oh, and what's worse, it's a 100L tank (give or take) and, on a bad day, costs around $150 to fill. DH uses BP Ultimate

We have an 03 Nissan Xtrail and i can get about 550km to a full tank of 95 so depending on the price its generally $80 to fill it. I have never gone over 50km with the fuel light on cause we have only had the car 4 months and I dont wanna get stuck.
I get more km if I do hwy driving as opposed to just running around town.
my X-trail

Ha, if Melbourne is as bad as Perth is getting, from one side to the other is a decent 2.5hr drive. On the freeway no less. Stupid urban sprawl.
