Your phone and petrol bill...How much do you spend a month?

How the hell do you people get to spend so little of fuel?! R300 is like half a tank for me and it takes me roughly 350km. I drive that in a week!

Living close to work helps greatly. If I still had my old job I would have spent R 0 on fuel and just walked to work.

Everything I need is within a 1km radius of me, home work daycare and spar. I do about 350km a month traveling.

My house us 2km away from the estate's gate. The gate is 4km away from the nearest Spar. The gate is 21km away from my office (and 30km away from the client I'm posted at currently). Funny enough, the gate is 30m away from a hospital. That must count for something at least? :p
 
R500pm - Corsa lite (dont fancy driving the Beamer or Triple S to much gas)
R400pm - 2 iPhone 4s Contracts
Stay with in 10km from work, 8ita calls is free when calling another 8ita subscription!
 
Around R1200 on my phone contract including additional data purchases every month, just had adsl installed so will be glad to be rid of that next month when the contract finally ends. Petrol I guess around R500 a month give or take. Everything I need is pretty close by, just work that's a small distance every day.

Eightita? I'm sure you meant 8ta, or Telkom Mobile as they're now called.
 
Yeah some of these number seem crazy low to me on fuel. Congrats all involved...good frugality.

Lately I've been spending a lot more on skype credits than actual phone costs. Telephone services are pretty craptastic here (Yes far worse than SA) so mostly Phone>>wifi>>Internet>>Skype dial-out
 
My phone is R319pm with the odd 100mb or 200mb bundle purchased separately.
Petrol varies a lot but it is usually between R800pm and R1000pm.

The reason for my relative low cost is that when I need transport for work, I get a pool car. And I do my work related calls via my landline.
As a responsible adult, I carefully calculate these savings each month and then blow it on gadgets, hardware, games and booze.
 
~3 full 55l tanks of fuel every month

Cellphone is R495 pm and I barely use the minutes/sms/data as i'm on WiFi 90% of the time and use Viber/Skype to call my relatives
 
Monthly cellphone bill: R0 as it's a company phone
Monthly petrol bill: R0 as the company pays for petrol....

But everything calculates to about R550 for the cellphone and R1500 for petrol per month.
 
i pay about R400 for my phone and petrol is about R1000.00. i dont drive around a lot and i have a small car. also work is 15km away from my house
 
Currently I contribute:

R400 for petrol
R12 for airtime (though this is a variable)(mainly use Wi-Fi)
