I’m in sales and usually drive a ton of miles each week. I put gas in when the light comes on and always end up putting in 10 gallons in my Corolla and usually fill it 1 to 1.5 times a week, getting around 30mpg.

So that comes out to $27-$40.50 a week.

I want to see how bad/good I have it.

It’s a 20.5 gallon tank, so it’s right around $60ish. My co-worker also drives one and he put $57 in it on Monday.

Wow that Corolla must be good on gas. When I was in sales I would fill up 2 to 3 times a week to the tune of $20-$27 each time.

Now I spend about $27 every 1.5 weeks or so.

I filled up the other day, gas was low ($2.69 maybe) and it was $37, not even a full tank. I usually fill up 2 times a week.

When I was driving a truck it was even worse, $60/tank isn’t that unheard of with some of the bigger trucks.

Oh well. Pay2Doanything.

Hmm, I fill up about once every 10 days unless I deviate from normal commuting. About $8.00 for 4.5 gallons, ~35-40 mpg. I even started playing around with 91, and the engine doesn’t seem to mind.

When filling my brothers truck they stop the pumps at $50 and some at $70. I overheard him talking, he spent $770 on gas last month.
