starky Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Could do it on a full tank in a Hi-Lux easy with economical driving so @2000 but you know what they say if you need to ask you probably can't afford it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way or 2 ways.. I mean 520 km at 2000bt sounds like a lot even my benzine car (thought Hi Lux was diesel) would be far cheaper for 1 way.. round trip probably a bit more 2400 or so.

So not too difficult to multiply 52 by 28.whatever Of course if by car gas you mean LPG then multiply the result of 520 divided by your Km/L by about 14. Someone bunk of maths too often ...

I am great at math, just did not know all the right variables in the equation. For one I am not sure about the fuel prices at this moment nor am i sure about the milage on my car. Normally around 1 to 10 but I get better millage on longer trips 1 to 13 or more. So it did not make real sense to come up with an precise amount that would be an approximation anyway. Just felt that 2000 bt for 520 km was a bit much so it could have been a round trip. But I have no clue how much a Hi Lux uses and if its diesel or benzine.

For me: small sedan (Mazda 2), 7 liter/100 km of E20. 27 Baht/liter. 7*27*5.2 ~ 982 Baht oneway. Ok so let's say 1000 Baht (adding for the endless jam when reaching Pattaya ). 7 liter/100 km ~ 14.3 km/liter Edited June 13, 2018 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did think you meant me. I never really check the fuel prices because I don't use my car that much I use the motorbike a lot but filling that one up is cheap. So I just don't have those numbers in my head as they are of no use to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was assuming they would be going back so round trip. Costs me a fair bit more than that as I am far from an economical driver.

Kerryd Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 520kms is about 2 1/2 tanks of fuel for the Harley (Heritage Softail) at roughly 500 baht/tank = 1,250 baht (one way) (using the most expensive fuel). If you are running E20 or some other cheap crap, or a bike with better mileage, then obviously your costs will be less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smutcakes Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I drive regularly from Bangkok to Chumphon which is 480km. I drive a Honda Jazz which takes E20 and it costs roughly 600 baht one way. I do not save fuel and have a fairly high consumption driving style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyfez Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 In an altis it's about 1,200 baht. About 100 less in a vios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaurene Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I do this drive many times in the year. I head for Cabin Buri. I have the Mazda BT50, 2.5turbo I normally top up 3 times with 1,000 baht in total for there and back. Quite a few police check points and speed cameras.Have learned and no fines over the last 6 years. Make sure you have Thai drive license or international and your road tax up to date. Normally I find towards the week end when more police stops. I have 3-4 stops for a drink and little walk around. Takes on average 7 hours at 100-120 speed. Try get there and back with no night time driving. Watch the road many speedsters on the road overtaking at very fast speeds all the busses stay over in the right lanes, will not pull over to the left.
