Gas Mileage Thread

Well being in the states for a while got me thinking, gas here is $4.40 per gallon, and its going up like a rocket, also everyone here in montana drives god damn f250s, rams, sierras, silverados, escalades, if it doesnt got at least a V6 they wotn drive it

so im wondering post up how much it costs to fill your tank, what grade you use, and hopw long it lasts you just for curiousities sake

it costs me around 80 dollars to fill up
i put in 91
and during school it lasts me a week
during the summer lasts me a month or two

my 98 saturn sc2 is about 50ish to fill (regular of couse ). And ive got 520kms in the city at best, but i usually only get about 400-420ish for the most part haha.

Tank can last me easily 2 weeks if i didnt do so much "extra" driving/crusing


Gas isent that expensive, stop complaining.

IM not complaining im just curious you do know this will be a serious situation and not that im gonna stop driving or something like that.

I dont know about you but id sure as hell rather pay less, if you wanna pay more go ahead.

I like driving and id rather drive than work more just to pay for gas

I'd still rather drive something I love than a cheap economical piece of SHIT like aveos/yaris, all those.. yuck

In my cherokee I drive doing the essentials with it and so far since the start of june to now ive gone throuhg $67 of gas.

Only way I can see somenoe complaining about gas is if your working like 1 shift a week or unemployed, otherwise It really isen't that expensive. Considering back when gas was cheap minimum wage was also under $7, nowadays we are at $8.60 and paying a little extra for gas.

Im not fuckin complaining im just curious as to what everyone is paying. I can afford gas quite fine thank you very much but it does suck to pay that much when from what ive heard from some people we shouldnt have to pay anyways.

Id rather use my money to buy parts for my car, go on vacations, take a pretty girl out on a date.

IMHO the guys will agree id rather get laid than cruise

or if your really determined you can get laid and cruise at the same time if you must

yah when i am going to school i make just enough to cover gas
since i work very very little during school and i have to fill up 4 times a month which ends up costing close to 300, so i have barely any money to do anything with
but i will just become this guy and pay 0

Fair enough, I'd kill for your civ civ's gas mileage haha.
But I bought the jeep with convience/winter in mind and aint complaining with my 15mpg at best.

Its not so bad. I just do alot of driving thats all. I mean every day I go from the north end to the university at least once, the girlfriend lives in the across town, and i go there almost every day. Plus driving to work about 5-6 times a week. It all adds up, especially when your little tuned 2.0L 4 cylinder only gets like 16mpg.

Whatever, it costs money to play and have toys.

what else should i spend money on?

Greddy_1700- Yeah true thats fair enough lol

1eightysx- Youve got to be kidding me right? drivings great dont get me wrong but theres better things you could spend all that gas money on im sure

seriously... I really can't think of anything, please fill me in.

Regardless, anything you spend your money on is going to be material and meaningless. *see karl marx

since when has candy been material and meaningless

$75.00 To fill, last 8-10 days

I tried to postpone this post, but it was inevitable that I state the obvious. With it's current tune, my FD has a full tank of about $95 91/94 octane. I usually put $40 to limit my time driving, and it usually lasts a couple hours. Maybe four or five hours of solid driving within the city at the most. Low weight and aerodynamics, plus gearing helped me get from Calgary to Regina on about $180 of gas though. It also runs pig rich at idle, so that probably doesn't help either Yup, my car kills the environment one revolution at a time.

paying for gas in inevitable for most, there is no use complaining about it. Riding my peddle bike to work is jsut not feasable for most people including myself. And for all the complainging you do Cam, don't you drive your car to work, even though you live a block away?
