MISSXR Lifetime Members 623 Member For: 22y 5m 15d Gender: Female Location: IN YOUR NIGHTMARES Posted 01/06/04 11:21 AM Share Posted 01/06/04 11:21 AM I put over 82 litres of fuel in my car. Acutally I stopped at 82.12 Liters and not because it clicked to stopped, cause I was like WTF I asked the cashier how on earth can I put more then 82L in my car, when it's only got an 82 litre tank... of course he didn't answer.So how much are we really paying for fuel?

How does one get "free fuel" even with a company supplied and maintained vehicle would'nt you be getting a reduced salary package for this benefit? Unless of course the car is used almost solely for work purposes such as a travelling salesman. With a novated lease I get a 47%discount on fuel, due it being paid for pre tax, so $4k of fuel actually has a net cost of just over $2k, but I still pay. I'm curious as to how one achieves totally free fuel?

Through lease agreements.Although you would be paying an increased amount to allow for it - if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is!Trent.
