How much $$$ do you spend weekly on gas

Ok, there was a poll before how many miles do you drive a week or a day, how about a little bit more sensitive subject.

So, how much do you spend a week?

As for me, I think I am spending just a bit too much. $30 - a week. That is about 320 - 340 miles. That is $1500 per year, and so far I only make about $6000. So.......... yeah, I need to cut back on my driving.

I clicked $5-10, but only because I drive the Justy 90% of the time (or more). If I drive the SVX, it's more like $25-30.

normaly it's about 22 bux a week
i go thru a tank a week
although there are times where i'll go thru 3+ tanks in a week if i'm goin out of town, or anything, doin longish trips,

this week it'll probably be a 3 tank week cause i'm goin to johnstown

I spend about $15-$25 a week. That's one thing my old car (Saturn) had; fuel economy. But, the SVX is worth it.

$3.50, for a six pack of baked beans.

Because of Mr Tony B. Liar's great government over here I spend well over the £ equivalent of $55..........and that's just to fill my lighter!!!

$40 to $50 a week to keep two cars going.

About $25 to $35 but it's going up? My milage is sucking lately, 250 miles before the lite comes on, Usually about 4gallons left.

i've noticed a DRAMATIC decrease in economy since the weather turned hotter.. i'm used to getting 300 miles before the needle hits "E" and now i'm getting about 200(!!!!)

but fortunately since i finished college, my work commute is significantly shorter..

Yes and no. I got awsome milage on the way to Reading,about 320 miles to a tank (with 4 gallons left). But around here it's a lot of back roads to and from work, and it's just to much fun not to run it hard up to 6,000RPM's in every gear, and I do 80mph everywhere I go. It could be better if I drove it nicer.

Any chance you could drive nice for a tank full and give me a mpg?

No fast accelerations just ease it on up.

Please.

I would go with the 5 spd if I could get say 28 mpg at 80 on the highway.

It would save me money.

Subafreak · #15 07-05-2003, 07:39 PM

It would save me money too, but I just can't do it.

I thought 230miles on a tank was good.

word of advice don't go with the 4.10's if you want to cruise at 80mph and get good mileage.
