What's your monthly gas expense looking like? $350+?

i drive about 60-70 miles a day, 4 times a week for work. and then sometimes i take the car out just for some fun

i dunno bout gas but its expensive lol

Every other day

My daily work commute is less than 2 miles round trip, so a tank can regularly last me 3-4 weeks. If I visit my mom or the girlfriend's folks semi regularly, I still get about 2 weeks.

Every other day to every two days. Run on 93 Shell. Spend about $500-$600 on gas. I average 29.9 MPG. A family member depends on me for rides to work, and I ended up moving 15 miles away from my job, so... more miles

I have had my car for 10 days and have put on 1400 miles. It is my DD and I love driving it. I am retired so I am driving it a lot. Have the 6 speed auto and averaged 38 bringing it home from Atlanta. I am averaging 32 around town. Love it!

I said in another thread that I drive like a granny, including highway cruising (80% of my travel) at 90 km/h. You must drive like, uh, an "un-granny"?

I just filled after Christmas break, where I did almost no highway driving, and was also distinctly un-grannylike in big parking lot after the snow was cleared (I'm officially a hooligan

) and my average per tank is now just over 530 km.

The light comes on with 2.0 gallons remaining. The most I have ever put in is 12.10 Gallons just for convenience. Someday I will intentionally run it dry to see how far it can go.

I see. Good to hear that. I must try to be "grannylike" more! Haha!

I drive about 100 miles / day on my work commute, so every 3 days I'm filling up.

Every two weeks. it's a DD car for me in the summer. I mostly drive it to work. with the occasional sunday funday drive. have it almost timed perfectly where every 2nd friday the light comes on and i fill it up on the way home from work. now if I know i am going to be cruising the blvd. i usually just let her sit around 1/4 tank and not full.
