I think when this over there will be a petrol shortage as everyone will be out and about so keeping the car topped up just in case.

[Misc] How Much Have You Spent / Saved on Petrol / Diesel Since Lockdown?
- Thread starter marlowe
- Start date
I filled up on the Wednesday of my last week in the office (we were at home for a week before the lockdown started). So it's been about 4 weeks since I filled up. Normally I'd have just been needing my second fill up since then, as it is I have virtually a full tank. If anything it's more likely my car will run out of battery than petrol anytime soon (although I do go outside and run the engine for a while every few days without going anywhere).

I do 400 miles a week commuting. Costs me about £60. Might have been putting my foot down a bit in the last fortnight on those empty roads. My usual one tank per week ran out yesterday....

Same as before £75 a week roughly but I’m getting further for my money

I'm probably being facetious.

Balls, knew I forgot something.
Don't know how much - but quite a lot since lockdown I guess. Filled up minutes before lockdown was announced, and since then I've been out in it once - with the windows and vents shut, so still self-isolating - twice round the block, just to keep it in running order - if I just leave it sitting on the drive for three months or more, it won't be much of a car by then.

Still driving to work as normal, but petrol prices went from $1.10 down to $0.59 a litre, so it’s saving me about $15 a week.
