Petrol cost analysis?

**TOTO** · 12th September 2009, 22:45

I've just been doing a budget calculations and have calculated that my petrol spending for the month of August alone was $403.58

This is all bike petrol. Anyone else doing monthly or weekly petrol calculations ?

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.

id be about 40 bucks per month for a 12k town commute every day, and the odd tag hunting/sunday ride, 400 buck would equate to about 4000km at my usage rate, thats a shitload of riding, maybe youve got a fuel leak? or someones could be siphoning your gas!!

YES, puke gas included - it was all that much tho as my group only did 2.5 sessions and we were all noobs taking easy , so it don't really matter that much.
