or you could buy a corolla, which will get you close to 500kms out of a tank (40l) and not really worry about petrol prices..

Why'd you buy a Corolla for then if it's not for shopping?

or you could ditch the corrolla and get a charade 64Kw of fun in a car that is only 800Kg in weight and uses 7L/100K in the city or 5.4L/100K on the Highway.
thrashing my car non stop to the rev limiter all the time it only costs me $30 for 500-600km of driving a week
now thats value for money

The price of petrol is getting stupid now.
All you city boys should not winge too much.
I'm paying $1.16 for normal unleaded and add to that a bottle of octane boost and your looking at a fair bit over $100 to fill the tank.
Ouch!! 
My car seems to be easy on petrol though. I get about 10L/100 and the car never sees under 160km/h for 99% of the driving. I get about 700-800k's out of a tank.
