By my reckoning, 20kms each way, cold start then town driving..? 15-18l/100km
30 to 36l/200km
30 x $2.10 = $63 to $75.60/200km

$180 gets me 480 ks in disco, so $50 will get you not far,or about 133ks

You must have a light foot
Last trip around Wainui coast - $180 lasted less than 300km
Mind you - ringin it out in low ratio top gear prob doesn't help...

Easy, fill up the disco at begining of week drive to and from work and at end of week fill it up again and if it comes to more than $50 go back to using the 300
or you could do what i did when i went from my surf to my fj40 and make it a challenge to drive as economicaly and use the best route as possible to try and get it down a bit
not easy when your in a hurry and a heavy foot is needed
