Petrol cost analysis?

[p.dath]

opps , actually thats supposed to be 4373 kms instead of 4973 my mistake. lucky i'm not studying for an accountant

So seriously, your saying you do 1000+ km's a week in the saddle?

Month of July just came up as $346.71

Well let's say you're paying $1.70 per litre for petrol, then $400 equates to around 235 litres of fuel for 4373 km.

That's close to 19 km/l (or 53 mpg), not too bad really.

The issue seems to be the distance not the consumption, but I guess you know this!?

I spend between $15-$35 a week on gas, 10000km service is due in 500km so bike is getting a rest so I can buy more time to save for the service.

Your numbers don't sound too bad TOTO. I did about 1000km from Wellington - Auckland, mostly over the speed limit, and that came in at $122. Running high octane, and mostly filled up at BP.

well looking at my other spreadsheet it appears I have changed oil and filter at 51 195km on 11.08.09 and the bike now is on 55 274kms , so I this is not 1000+ kms

would be cool if it was

Ive gone through 23 ltrs one tank in 18 months on my zx14.
And still on the first tank on my poocati that ive owned for about 3 months

You must be doing a serious number of kms to spend $400 on petrol in a month.

I do about 200 km a week, and spend about $20/week.

Ditto.

$403.58 = Either too many Ks or too many revs.
