What your car costs to run
Tell us how far you drive and how much fuel your car uses. We'll work out your fuel bill for a year at the real prices where you fill up, and how much of it you could keep.
Your fuel bill
$1,967 a year
That's about $38 a week, for 1,040 litres of Unleaded 91 at 189.1c a litre, the average in Sydney over the last year.
What you could keep
- $179 a year by filling up near the low of each price cycle in Sydney, not on a random day.
- $149 a year between the dearest and cheapest brands in Sydney, EG Ampol and U-Go.
Your litres: 200 km a week × 52 weeks × 10 litres per 100 km. Prices are the average across stations of each one's price at noon each day. The cycle saving uses the gap between each cycle's lowest days and its average day in Sydney. Built from NSW FuelCheck data (CC BY-SA), so it can be reused under the same licence.
