Petrol cost per kilometer travelled

With the increase in petrol price, do you know what is the petrol cost per kilometer for your car?

Here is a simple way to calculate this cost factor:

a) When you next top up to full tank, record the kilometer reading.
b) On the following top up to full tank, record the kilometer reading and the amount paid
c) Subtract the difference between the reading to get the kilometer travelled
d) Divide the petrol bill by the kilometer reading to get the cost per kilometer travelled.

If you have done this calculation, please post a comment showing the following: your model of car, petrol cost per kilometer travelled.
