At $2.77 a gallon for 86 octane and with my work being 1.5-2miles away depending on which way i go=$5 a week maybe to get to work with a few split shifts etc. All the rest of my money goes in my car or 2 video games or just driving around just to waste time and wait and my rent but at least i got my car paid off again.

1987 T-Bird AEROBIRD-GT had many many mods but is now totaled and is the car that made me want to start customizing everything all over again.

I used to spend $50-$60/week driving the Lincoln and/or F-150 - this driving involves two 70 mile round trips into the city per week, plus just driving around here. Probably about 95% highway driving, since even going to the store is a five mile trip.

With the Saturn I spend about $25-$30 (plus a quart of oil every two weeks). Best $400 purchase I ever made :D

In the past 3 weeks I've spent $60.00 total.  Price per gallon $3.15

MPG 21.... My commute to work is only 13 miles and most of it is highway and I work nights so almost no traffic too.

In the 07 Mustang (4.0 v6)... I have been averaging about 22mpg. If I tried I could get around 26mpg. If someone were to taser me I could manage 30mpg. I fill up twice a week, on just work travel, @ about $35 a tank. So $70 a week. Sucks, because it's practically all highway and all traffic --30 miles one way.

I actually swapped cars (07 Honda Accord Coupe I-4) with the fiancee this week to see how much money I would save on gas.

Why? Because despite asking her numerous times to check out her fuel mileage in a years time, I figure then only way I am going to find out is to drive her car. The thing is... I dislike this car... I don't think I will make it the rest of the week, let alone a couple fill ups. Took me an hour and a half to get home today, because I didn't have the power of lane choice. Or what's commonly referred to as torque.

During a normal two week period between paydays I use $50-60 of 93 octane.
 
The new cat did pretty good on the way back from Chicago, got about 22 mpg. Bad thing was I used almost a half gallon of brake fluid on the same trip.

Hmm... We both have a T-Bird, an F-150, and a Saturn. I think I may be your evil twin :evilgrin:
