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.

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. |

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.

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!

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.

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, 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. http://www.clubtomtom.com/general/pay-less-at-the-pump/ Quote:

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

$40 a week
I would love to chop that in half. Quote:
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. |

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