Fuel use 4.5 L/100 km at 253.8 c/L for premium 95 petrol, the Sydney average in the NRMA weekly fuel report of 5 October 2026. Pump prices change daily and vary by town, so treat the dollars as examples. The last column is a typical electric car using 17 kWh/100 km on a mostly-home mix, for comparison. Official fuel figures come from a laboratory test, so real use is usually higher, especially when towing or loaded.
| Distance a year | Fuel per year | Fuel per week | Typical electric car |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 km | $571.05 | $10.98 | $348.42 |
| 10,000 km | $1,142.10 | $21.96 | $696.83 |
| 15,000 km | $1,713.15 | $32.95 | $1,045.25 |
