At today's pump prices.....probably blow the $10k on a full tank of gas.....might even be enough change for a pack of chewing gum also. 
Suppose you just won $10,000 from a lottery scratch ticket...What would you do to your car?

Fill up the tank and buy a new set of tires. After taxes that mediocre size jackpot might cover those 2 things.
if any money was leftover, I’d buy some beer.
Now if I could win a 7 figure jackpot, that might buy me something interesting….

Since I pulled out the engine a couple weeks ago, ten grand would be really welcome right now!
I see more than 10K there.
That's the discounted weekly rate.
How much is gas there?At today's pump prices.....probably blow the $10k on a full tank of gas.....might even be enough change for a pack of chewing gum also.
Going up every few hours. These are per/litre prices...... one litre equals a C.H. over one Quart.
NZ Dollars prices.... one NZ Dollar equals US$0.63 at the current rate.....
LPG = roughly US$3.80 per US Gallon
Our 98 octane is roughly US$9.02 per US gallon
Our 95 octane is roughly US$8.80 per US gallon
Our 91 octane is roughly US$8.20 per US gallon
Our Diesel is roughly US$8.06 per US gallon
BTW.....I'm doing OK in the weekly numbers.....

Gas prices have backed off about 15 cents over this past week.
Wow, and people are bitching here? I figure your taxes are higher there. How much has it gone up in 2 years? Thank you!
Pretty much doubled over the last year.
Taxes make up about 70% of the cost at the pump. And we pay Road User Charges based on mileage for Diesel vehicles.
That road user tax isn’t on top of the regular tax, is it?
What about the new increase in CA gas tax 7/1/22.
No...just on the diesel. Truckies are really hurting right now.
I worded that wrong. I meant diesel on top of the regular tax, sorry.
Diesel attracts the normal taxes, but is exempt from a couple of taxes that other fuels have built in. On top of the pump price, we pay an additional Road User Charge based on mileage.

10k wouldn't go to far in my garage, but if given the opportunity to spend it on one car,and overdrive transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes and a set of wheels would chew up 10k pretty quickly.
