Surely the amount of fuel you consumed is the amount of fuel you have to put back in at step 4, and step 7 is not necessary.

Thing is, if i fill the car full of Petrol -- i will find myself when bored just going for long random drives -- i.e. when doing course-work. Plus, i don't wanna part with £40.
