I have a spread sheet tracking all this since I bought my car back in 2007. 2002 A4 1.8TQM average 20.1 miles/day @ 22.3 MPG (mostly city) average $20.16/week in gas @ $3.15/gallon. Its been a pretty handy tool to analyze the effects driving habits, maintenance, and even weather has had on gas mileage. Its also been useful in my considerations to getting an S4… plug in the expected MPG and seeing the expected impact at the pump broken right down to how much more it would cost me per day. Since my very first fill up in Sept. 2007, I have burned through 1118 gallons of gasoline costing approx. $3500. ---

> [@livin4hockey](#): > > Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the other way around? Don’t cars burn more when they are lower? It be kind of weird for a car manufacturer to make a car run richer when the tank is low on fuel. I always contributed it to lower overall volume capacity as the gas goes down that contributes to the needle moving faster. ---

I wouldn’t think the level of gas would make any difference in consumption in the way that engine temp does. ---

Factor in the weight of having an extra 100lbs of fuel in the vehicle as well. ---

> [@joelster](#): > > Factor in the weight of having an extra 100lbs of fuel in the vehicle as well. this is part of what i ment. But what im saying is when i have a full tank i tend to drive harder on the car floor it more stuff like that cause i know i have alot of gas. When i dont have as much gas i take it easy when im driving and in the end get better mpg… if that makes any sense. ---

All good points. I never even gave it any thought. It was something that I just thought I heard somewhere that cars burn more fuel on a lower tank but maybe I misunderstood it. > [@Jimshorts](#): > > this is part of what i ment.

Makes sense to me, my lead foot gets lighter and lighter the longer my gas light stays on lol. ---

I floor the piss out of my truck when it is full… not so much when there is 5 mi left on a tank, and I’m 6 miles from the nearest gas station. ---

Year round about $40 a week to go to work then school then home plus a place on the weekend. Throw in trips and getting others to drive like $160-200 a month. ---

2008 Impala DD Drive about 350 miles a week, average 25 mpg, gas is about $3, so roughly $42 a week I do have an excel table at home where I track miles and mileage, but I doubt you are looking for something that detailed. Now once the weather breaks and the DD sees less of the road, the MPG will go down and cost will go up. ---

06 evo 220 miles a week 220 miles/tank around 11 gallons to fill back up at 359/gallon right around $40 a week at that rate its more efficient to spend 1000 on a beater that gets 35mpg and after a year or so it will pay itself off in gas savings ---

Road Trip. They have a lite version that offers most basic functionality, but the normal one is $5. Theres a few other fuel log type of deals, I like this one best. ---
