Ever since the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) package was passed into law, fuel prices across the country have skyrocketed, and for those of you who own a compact sedan or smaller, you might not know how the situation is right now for people with big cars who need them to shuttle families or to wade through flooded areas during monsoon season. To shed some light on this, we've put together this short list of big SUVs and vans to show you how much filling a full tank from zero would roughly cost.
For this table, we used the average fuel prices for the Philippines listed by GlobalPetrolPrices.com for July 2, 2018. The average prices on the site are as follows:
*Gasoline: P54.55 per liter
*Diesel: P43.95 per liter
| Vehicle and variant | Engine | Type of fuel | Fuel tank capacity (liters) | Average cost for a full tank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMW X6 xDrive 30d |
3.0-liter turbodiesel |
Diesel | 85 | P3,735.75 |
| Ford Explorer 3.5L Sport V6 EcoBoost |

Do note that a bigger fuel tank also equates to better range, so don't look at these figures one-dimensionally.
