Taxi driver Xiao Wang operated on a north-south road all afternoon. If heading south is denoted as "$+$" and heading north is denoted as "$-$", his driving situation that afternoon was as follows: (unit: kilometers) $-2$, $+5$, $8$, $-3$, $+6$, $-2$.  
$(1)$ If the taxi consumes $0.3$ liters of fuel per kilometer, how much fuel in total did Xiao Wang consume to return to the starting point?  
$(2)$ If the starting price for each trip is $10$ yuan, and for trips within $3$ kilometers (including $3$ kilometers), only the starting price is charged; for trips over $3$ kilometers, in addition to the starting price, an extra $4$ yuan is charged for each kilometer over $3$ kilometers (less than $1$ kilometer is counted as $1$ kilometer), how much did Xiao Wang earn today?
