Petrol survey

I'm doing a little not-very-scientific survey related to marginal pricing and I hope you can help.

What I want to know is, if you have a car (a) does it get used everyday (or nearly everyday) to get you to work (or Uni/school if you are a FT student) (b) roughly how often you fill up the tank and (c) how long a trip you would have to make before you started factoring petrol prices in (feel free to answer 'dunno' to this one)

It would be a really useful if anyone who happens to wander by and reads this could leave a comment with the above info. Feel free to remain anon. if you wish.

Oh yeah, if I don't know you personally, it would be good if you could also mention what city/town you live in.

Thanks heaps.

Okay, I drive way less than the average person.

(a) No, but it does get used to drop the kids to school. (b) Fill up about every 2 to 2.5 weeks. (c) So far length of trip hasn't been relevant in making those choices. The strength of viable PT alternatives is what I'm factoring against petrol prices. eg Home to Southland SC; no PT that's remotely time competitive, so I drive, despite parking problems. Girlfriend's place to Highpoint SC; good frequent PT (two different routes), trip not too long, so don't drive.
