I'd normally budget $40 a week for petrol, that would give me 14 litres of fuel into a tank that would hold about 80 if full. It would give me a range of about 180-200kms (I think) and I'd use most of that up in a typical 7 day stretch, so to travel further (the classic Sunday drive etc.) was becoming out of reach / more costly than ever :(

I do hope when the dust settles that the cost vs benefit works out in favour of the change, there's certainly a lot of upfront costs but I plan to stick with the vehicle for some time and not change any time soon... so hope to recover those costs and see some savings and increased range/mobility because of it :)
