    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.
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    2958 miles, 245.7 gallons, $781.46
    Veh. 3:
    2991 miles, 209.46 gallons, $644.56

    1357 miles, 100.09 gallons, $315.90

    Average 15.47 miles/gallon; $40.39/week

    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.

    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.

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

    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!
    I add new pictures to my photo gallery pretty regularly. You can see them here if you are interested: http://www.pbase.com/jeffryz

    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.

    TomTom is proud to unveil TomTom Fuel Prices, a new service that finds the lowest gas prices so travelers can make the best choices for fueling up. TomTom Fuel Prices will be available for TomTom 920 and 920T users in the US starting in Q1 2008.

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

    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
