Looking at the 1st post, if your just shooting 10 or so shots a day buy a 7ltr bottle it'll last ages. 

I shoot a comp most weekends and bought a tank in April. I haven't had to refill it yet. 

Here you go clever people, how long will a 7ltr tank last at 10 shots a day, every day. Cylinder capacity being 200cc, fill to 180psi and refill at 120? Gun is a 177.

Other parameters necessary to the calculation I will leave to the mathematicians. 

 

It's slightly ambiguous, because 10 shots per day isn't 'occasional'. I took it to mean occasional use and then on the day that it is used, only 10 shots or so. But even if it was ten a day, that's 70 a week, so you're still only charging once a week. Yes a bottle is easier, but then it's a 30 mile round trip to get a bottle filled plus the initial expense of buying the bottle and then the expense of the certificate check, which all adds up.
