If i drove from sydney to melbourne in a 77TSI would i make it on one tank?

I am just wondering...cos i am a tight arse.....at the moment....i am calculating that it would be cheaper to drive then to get on a plane....i just wondered if that was true or not

Forget Petrol - how much is your time worth?

1hr vs 8-10 hours? How much work/personal time can you fit in to that.

If I was moving lots of stuff, I might drive.

Not sure if it's comparable but I did the Sydney to Melbourne trip in our Golf 118TSI. Made it there on one tank of BP ultimate with 1/4 tank left at our destination. averaged 6.2l/100km

Ummmm i got 790 with Shell 98 that was a mixture of highway/city driving.

should piss it in

I know the airplane ride is amazing for time!....but i don't really have $300 to drop on a plane ticket right now.....if i can get there and back on 2 tanks.....thats $100....can't really complain.

1hr?
It's nearly 1.5hr flight time. Factor in getting to airport and getting there early enough.
Then factor in waiting for bags and getting transport to the city.
You are looking at more like 4 hrs door to door.

It's still a little bit better than the 18 hours door to door. Just the money i have my thoughts on....end of the day i just wanna go out with my friends and get drunk

You also have to factor in wear and tear on your vehicle, possibly damage, speeding fines, tolls. It could quite easily add up to more than $300.
