Stressed About Fuel EconomyIt is really easy to worry about the price of fuel going up by, say, 5 cents per Litre, but what does that mean to your driving costs and how will it affect your driving choices?Forget MPG or L/100 km! The number that really counts is what it costs to drive per mile or kilometre. Take what it costs to fill your tank and divide it by the distance you drove. For example,if it cost $65.00 to fill your tank after driving 500 km since your last fill then your driving cost is $0.13/km. now put this in relevant terms. If you drive 50 kms round trip to work every day, that means it cost you cost $6.50 to go to work. Putting a real cost on the distance you drive will help you make informed choices about places you go. How about those vacation plans? If you drive 1,500 km at $0.13/km, your vacation fuel cost will be $195.00. If fuel was $.020/ Litre cheaper, it would mean a difference of only $30.00 for your vacation. The price of fuel has to change $0.10 /litre to increase your cost by $0.01/Km. Yes, fuel is expensive. Get used to it and make better choices. |
