2 litre diesel and I commute about 70 miles a day there and back, 5 days a week with maybe another 100 miles at weekends.

It currently takes about £100 to fill my tank but I usually put £80 in and that will cover for just shy of 2 weeks.

It's sold by the gallon in the US - just as it used to be here until about the late 70's / early 80's, thpugh a US gallon is a little smaller than a standard, imperial, British gallon.

You should run it emptier. Your carting around £50 of fuel for no reason. It's adding to the weight of your car and your losing efficiency.

During the summer I use a couple of lorries in work and my fuel bill every month is over £1000.

My lorry takes about £300 of Diesel but when I've been in service stations, the highest I've seen on the pump where a bigger lorry has filled up is £900.

"30 USD a week. 4 liters in a gallon we pay by gallon currently its 360. Per gallon. "

When I was living in the US in 2018, the UK petrol price was $7.50 ish a US gallon. With the worse exchange rate I would expect it to be over $10 now.

The difference is fuel duty and VAT.

Mind you car tax was much higher in the US, it is a percentage of the value of the car.

In the truck I do around 1800 miles a week on average using around 875 litres of diesel, but I don't pay for that so didn't include it. The 2500 is just my running around at the weekend and driving to work on a Monday and home on a Friday.

You drive that far shopping ! , thankfully I obviously live a lot closer to the shop's than you lol .

Absolutely. There’s some big machines on these sites, and a lot of them. 500 litres a day not uncommon, and more, per machine. How long would 500 litre’s last the average car user?

"Way too much tbh , the cost of petrol in this Country is absolutely scandalous...the Government take 67% in fuel tax ...a shower of f*****s !! "

I’m curious to know, given how much is paid in fuel duty and vat by car drivers alone, what happens when that tax isn’t coming anymore because everyone has been forced down the electric car road, how is that shortfall in government revenue to be made up? Add to this the road tax shortfall because electric are taxed lower, that is going to be a mega amount. The state of the roads now are dreadful, how will they be improved?

The green lobby will claim that it’s necessary for the environment. Ok, so for arguments sake we accept that, but what about the countries, with far more vehicles than we have, who don’t force their sheep into electric vehicles. And what about all the hundreds, sorry thousands of flights that take place daily.

To me, they aren’t trying to save the planet, they’re trying to save the oil to use in things that can’t be changed to electric. Mega taxes, forcing us into electric cars and dangerously rough roads are the first steps.

Maybe I’m wrong.
