[renovation]

what you spending every week to drive your car and /or truck.
i know on avg we are dropping $75 to $100 in are vehicle's. and right now im now im not working as much as in the spring and summer were my costs may triple.

[Kevster]

I have to fill up my Saturn PoS every 6-7 days, costing me about $35. The Honda Accord my wife drives gets gas every 10 days or so, so our weekly average is around $50.

[Jihforce]

About 200-300 a month right now. Wife does most of the commuting right now...poor thing.

Anywhere from $120 to $180 a week depending on the Dr. appointments. sharing my bros Land Rover because my truck is a standard and sucks in traffic.

As of last week I'm no longer in school or working, so I haven't yet bought gas this year. I'll probably go back to work in May.

$120-180 per week????

$120-180 per week????

Yes, I'm in Carlsbad, Ca. and my brother goes to LA for class. And my appointments, sometimes 3-4 per week, for my injury are in San Diego, a 50+ mile round trip. Also all the errands I run for my family from here to Pendalton, (like to hospital on other side of base), about 3 times a week adds maybe another couple hundred miles or so. I pay for about 80% of the fuel costs but its better than walking or using my POS truck.

if i'm only driving my moped, $4 every 7-10 days. i last filled up my v6 truck on new year's for like $40 and i still have a little over 1/2 tank left.

about $30 a week...but I get over 400 mpg...and I drive to and from Anaheim a few days a week. Once I stop doing that I imagine it will be every fews weeks that I fill up my gas tank.

400 mpg? Or do you mean miles per tank? If it's MPG then I want one! :)

[zippyjuan]

Let me see- I walk to work (about two blocks! Lucky me!) and ride a bike the rest of the time. Gas? Zero. Car payments? Zero. Car insurance? Zero. It is a nice luxury to have. And I live about a mile from the beach!

[mcs328]

60 miles a day. 30mpg. 3 bucks or so a gallon. 10 gallon tank. It should last me a whole week but I say 100 bucks a week. Traffic and all.

per tank...oops!!

[uncledaddy]

per tank...oops!!

Heh, I kinda figured.

Well, filled another $64 on Thursday and topped off with $40 on Saturday making it another $164 week. :disa:

[MrGreg]

Subaru WRX, and I fill up roughly every two weeks, so lets call it about $20/week. I really like living close to where I work.

[ray]

$40 every month or two :)

[BlueTriangle]

Ray, do you have a hybrid?? It takes a little less than $45 to fill up my 96 4wd Runner. How much I fill it up depends on how much I drive because I usually ride the metro. But usually it sucks up gas quickly. So usually I spend probably in the high 80's or low 90's every month.

Someone sent me this article from the clubtomtom site. I was thinking about getting a TomTom ONE 3rd Edition for only 150 bucks but the 920 might also save me some money in the long run.

That sounds like a fantastic product. I fill up at Costco though--no local stations can ever beat them.

[guiseppewv]

$40 a week

I would love to chop that in half.

That's what you think. I filled up at a local Shell station before I passed the costco. The shell station was a dime a gallon less. The Exxon station across the street from the Costco was the same price. I still love Costco even if their gas is not the least expensive.

[BlueTriangle]

I always use Exxon, but they just build a Costco near my house so I might become a member and use them as well
