Default howmany times a day/week do you stop at for Gas?

and how much $$$$ do you put in? For me in the summer time i usually stop 2x's aday and put usually 10$ in each time. so it'd be 20 aday but with 2 stops.

I put $20 once week in unless I decide to mess around a bit. But my drive to work is only 8 miles both ways.. It all depends on how much your foot weighs. My mustang actually gets great mileage, if I drive it like a normal car and use my 5th gear after 45 mph...

20 a day times 7 days a week = $140 a week

$140 divided by 3 bucks a gallon = 46 and 2/3 gallons

46 and 2/3 gallons times 15 MPG = 700 miles a week
46 and 2/3 gallons times 20 MPG = 933 and 1/3 miles a week
46 and 2/3 gallons times 25 MPG = 1166 and 2/3 miles a week

700 miles a week times 50 weeks = 35000 miles a year





You must drive around a ton to be putting like 35000 miles a year on your car

Like maybe 20 a week give or take driving to work everyday which is like an 8 mile round trip and then screwing around on weekends. The Mustang actually gets a bit better mileage than my old DSM did.

Over the summer its usually about once a week sometimes every other week and then when I'm away at school I don't drive much up here so I can usually get away with once a month. Each fill up costs me about 30 bucks

EDIT: and by the way I can't imagine going through a full tank of gas everyday... so you drive like what 200 something miles a day thats insane!

I used to fill-up one of my cars about 4 - 7 times a week.....sometimes I would even fill-up twice in a day. Those days are behind me, so now I fill-up mine about 2 times every 10 days I guess and my wife about the same.

I used to routimely drive 200, 300, 400, 500 miles even in a day. I once did 1000 miles in two days for work which I think was my record...nothing to be proud of. I had some months where I drove over 6,000 miles and typically averaged 50 - 60k per year just on one car and my wife did about 30k on hers, plus the Mustang on the weekends.

I now have a 45 mile roundtrip commute.

Why don't you fill it up and save time and trips to the station?

I fill up every 5 days or so. I get about 240 miles on average on a full tank of gas. I drive about 48 miles a day with work and thats freeway and street mixed in.

I don't know why you would just put $10 in at a time.

W00t!

If you're burnin 10 bucks a day you may as well slap 30 bones in it twice a week and subject yourself to less pricing volatility. You'll save money in the long run.

I burn 15 bucks a week normally. 30 if I do like I did last night and race Ferrari's down Stanley.
