To ensure the safe use of electricity during the 62nd birthday of the motherland, electricity workers drive back and forth along a north-south road. One morning, they set off from point $A$ and arrived at point $B$ in the evening. The directions are agreed upon as follows: north is positive and south is negative. The records for the day are as follows (unit: kilometers): $-17$, $+8$, $+6$, $-14$, $-8$, $+17$, $+5$, $-6$.

$(1)$ Where is point $B$ relative to point $A$, and how far apart are they in kilometers?
$(2)$ If the car consumes $0.2$ liters of fuel per kilometer traveled, how much fuel is consumed in total on that day?
