indeed sailaway, I seem to do 24K kms a year and average 6.8L/100km more often than not, the worst had been 7.8, the best HWY use typically 6.1L/100km. ('09 MB - 2L TDCI)
*diesel priced at ~$1.19 (@ 6.8L/100km) I'd have spent $1,942.08
*petrol priced at ~$1.40 (@ 9.0L/100km) I'd have spent $3024
We (wife and I) use to average 15K kms a year in our old vehicle petrol, as we go further on diesel we've been driving more and not worried as we use to be, which has seen to the shot up in the K's driven. Bought it with 120K kms now has 180K kms, or 60K kms in 2.5yrs that's huge for us. Happy we bought it when we did cause an added bonus has been diesel had a decline in price at the time and has been lower than Petrol since.
Margins get tighter the less you drive, asme again with Dealership/Workshop Servicing. I'm glad to do my own and self maintain it.
*there's some give an take on fuel costs it's not always at those levels for either type fuels but it averages out close enough to review.
