Miles and gas prices

[nysvx10]

Just got a new job, and now commute 40 miles one way so I put on a good 500 miles on a week and am was thinking what everyone else does? Also what are current gas prices where you are from. Saw the low price of $2.91 today

[$ gest24 $]

I have a 44 mile round trip and go to base about 4-5 times a week. I paid $3.58/Gal today.

I do about the same right now. but gas is at the corner for 2.97 Which is ussually the cheapest in the area, there is a shell that I think is at 2.92 right now, but I havn't been over there for a couple days.

Go Shell! Thats pretty much all I put in my SVX. Plus the station I go to has a "cash" price and "credit" price. Usually the cash price is right on with the On-base gas.

26 miles round trip...add another 10 to pick up the wife on my way home from work every day. Paid $2.95/gal (93 octane) yesterday at the Shell by my house.

Of course my SVX is still up on jackstands so I'm still driving my turbo Grand Am. Only getting 15-17 mpg. I can increase my gas mileage by 30% by keeping the boost gauge from going into positive pressure.....yeah right, like that's possible

Its about 3.45 where im at, but i pay 3.25 for regular since i dont have a suby anymore

Roughly 10 miles from home to work. Street lights are timed by computers so they change at the exact time, exact pattern every day, and if I leave my house at 6 after 7am, I will get there at 7:22 regardless of speed. If traffic is light I might be able to keep a constant speed.
Gas is hovering summabouts $3.

My drive to work is just under 12 miles each way. By the time the tranny warms enough for the TC to hook-up, I'm there, thus fuel economy suffers a bit. (This is offset by superb highway MPG.) This morning the cheapest gas to be had in these parts (Marathon) was $3.019 for 93-octane premium. I passed a little full-serve, no-name joint in The Middle of Nowhere, Tennessee last night that offered the same for $2.89. Maybe ten miles separates those stations, and Tennessee's fuel taxes are higher. Curious.

88-mile round trip commute here. most recently, i paid $2.649/gallon for 85 octane regular unleaded in my 36 mpg hyundai elantra. i did drive teh svx to work one day last week and had the privilege of spending $44 to fill his tank.

GO HYUNDAI! Haha. I bought a '95 Elantra 1.6 last week for $500. Has bad compression in one cylinder so the head is getting pulled this week. As soon as it's running I'll be diggin' the high mpg and enjoying the $$ saved each week in gas.

the 2.0 litre in the newer models allow them to move out of their own way. i might even be a little disappointed when both of them are gone.

I normally put 150miles/week on my SVX. Gas is the equivalent of about $3.50/USGAL here.

Enjoy your Hyndai (they are good for MPG), but they have the worst re-sale value.
