It would cost roughly $75 USD for a full tank. or more importantly due to exchange rate: NZ $120

Is it really a car for you? It's never going to be cheap to fuel.

Also, unless you DIY all the fairly easy things it's going to cost plenty for servicing & maintenance, not to mention repairs.

she's the right car for me! I have a motorcycle that does 25 km/l for work commutes. I have been driving it more and i'm getting between 7 - 8 km/l just from the sensors but I will do a proper calculation once im down to nothing.
