How often do you refuel...

Ladogaboy · 05-28-2002, 11:07 PM

and how much do you drive?

Personally, I drive a minimum of 360-400 miles a week. I also refuel about once a week...

Of course, I try to drive down to see my GF once a month, so that is another 1,000 miles/month...

Hence the term, "often"...

I need to refuel about every other week. I drive about 20 miles a day with an 11 gallon tank in a car that gets 30 MPG.

bachviet · 05-29-2002, 07:48 AM

Once every 8 or 9 days for around 280 miles (14 gallon)!

Jihforce · 05-29-2002, 10:38 AM

6-7 days. getting about 22-27 miles per gallon. I drive like 300-400 miles a week.

Burzhui · 05-29-2002, 12:21 PM

i get about 17mpg on an 18 galon tank

Being unenjoyed, every couple of weeks. Not having that 50 mile round-trip commute helps.

car - once a week. ON auto-x weekends, i only put in 3 or 4 gallons. I like to keep teh rearend as light as i can for certain cornering characteristics that my car has problems with.

cycle - once ever two or so weeks. I dont drive it as much right now. It gets about 45mpg on a 3.5gal tank. The car gets about 25mpg on a 12gal tank.

thats about... 600 - 650mi every 2 weeks. Humm. At least i'm splitting it between to vehicles.

I used to drive the bike from one city to another for 6 months about 2 years ago - 70mi trip one way. The bike i had at the time got 60mpg and had a 2.5gal tank.

Depends on which car. The Volvo averages about 23mpg if I'm driving semi-nice (maybe 225 miles per 16 gal tank) BUT the 'Stang (IF and when I ever get it back from the body shop after 3 months of body work and repainting) averages 9.5 mpg or 100 miles on its 16 gal tank. Good thing that's not my daily driver.

you are absolutely right

I get about 200 miles for every fill up of 14 gallons. That will last me 1-1.5 weeks. I need to start getting my ass to work early instead of driving 90MPH to get to work on time. Waste of gas.

UnReAL · 06-02-2002, 09:27 AM

typically whenever i need gas, is when i refuel...

shoeish · 06-02-2002, 06:58 PM

In my mustang, very, very often. I get < 10mpg in town and that's driving nice. At auto-x and the dragstrip I get < 5mpg. I get 26mpg on the highway if the cruise is set and I stay out of boost. =)
