Driving the car in on weekends in the summer is about $50 a week :tdown:

Between my wife and I, **$800/month**. And that doesn’t include the Cobra in the summer. Just my Jeep is about $60 every 2-3 days (weekends are bad).

When I started looking at it like that, I realized that spending 2x as much on my taxes per year to live closer to work, would be significantly cheaper than the 60mi round trip I’m making now. She drives even further.  
But now she sees how much that veggie burning truck was actually saving us.

Same here. Evo IX, about $45 a week unless we are on a travel schedule.

That’s winter, come summer I get the Mustang out and we end up more like $60. But not much more.

Winter= $40-$60 a week '08 Silverado 5.3 flexfuel  
Summer= same plus maybe another $40 for my Z’s.

It’s funny that my 5000lb truck can pull over 20mpg but neither of my cars can, lol.

I put about $12/week in it, so maybe 50 a month. Drive to work and home, once in a while to a store, or an extra trip to work. 00 Miata

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the other way around? Don’t cars burn more when they are lower?
