Costing more than $250,000, the Lamborghini Urus is a luxury few can afford – and it turns out that filling it with gas costs just as much relatively speaking.
One YouTuber took his new ride to the gas station to fill its 19.8-gallon tank.
He predicted a ballpark figure that he felt was conservative.
And that figure was blown out of the water.

The Lamborghini Urus
According to the Italian brand, the Lamborghini Urus is the ‘first Super Sport Utility Vehicle in the world, merging the soul of a super sports car with the practical functionality of an SUV’.
Boasting a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine under the hood, it has a maximum power output of 650 horsepower.
What’s more, it is said to have the best power-to-weight ratio in the SUV segment.

One thing that isn’t in proportion? Its gas costs.
The supercar’s fuel costs
On his debut trip to the gas station with his new ride, Thach Nguyen was in for a rude awakening.
Turns out the eye-watering amount he had paid for the supercar was just the beginning.
Just like a racehorse, a car of this caliber is expensive to run and keep on the road.
“I am filling up this Lamborghini Urus this thing has almost 20 gallons and it’s almost empty,” he said.
Nguyen predicted a full tank would set him back $95-100 – which is enough of a financial hit for most car owners.
However, with five more gallons still to go the pump’s total already reached $90.
Then as the tank hit 17 gallons, the total was at a whopping $98.
With a tiny amount of gas in the tank before he started pumping, the grand total for a full tank came to $110.
Now that’s what you’d call ‘money to burn’ however, the Lamborghini Urus SE plug-in hybrid is cheaper to run.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
