Default How much do you drive, and how much do you spend on fuel?

Thought this could be an interesting topic of discussion,

I'm currently doing 50,000km+/year at the moment mostly just work driving, might average 100km worth of driving on my weekends normally.

Spending around $700/month on fuel, average 6.5L/100km or there about, using 98 in my daily, if I used my ute as my daily then it would double my fuel costs as it does 12L-15L/100km

How much driving do you do and what are you guys spending a month on fuel?

I'd save a significant amount on monthly fuel costs if I switched to an EV with off peak charging, but I don't particularly want to spend $60K-$70K to save say $3-400/month on fuel or something, $60K buys me a lot of 98

My daily is a 2009 Smart Fortwo, I do roughly 1200 Ks in the Smartie each month, I fuel up roughly every 3 weeks @ $45-50 a tank, so about $8-900 a year, still cheaper than catching the bus including insurance and Rego
