About $100/mo for me, but I don't drive near as much as I did before the economy shit on us.

When our company was still going, our fuel bill was usually around $7000/mo.

2nd fill up (both only to 3/4 of a tank-ish @ $60/each) of the week = $120 thus far

So I took a day off of work last week (Friday) because I was sick (still am; yuck). But here's what I wound up with:

43,899 miles = 479 miles in one week.
As an average (using 6 days for this particular week) = 79.83 miles/day.
$3.63/gallon average
18 miles/gallon average
32.976 gallons bought
$120.00 spent
18 miles = $3.63 (average)
$16.09 daily travel expense
$96.54 spent on this particular week

Does that math look right? I think so... Considering I've got a little bit left in the tank this morning and made it to work already Either way you shake it; basically $100/week + tolls...

Fill up every payday (every two weeks) to the tune of about $45 per tankful, so about $90 per month...unless there's a tournament or something.

Yeah, I know. I was using the average cost that I actually incurred on those two fill-ups particularly. I can't believe this shit; it's getting ridiculous

FWIW - I saw a Honda Insight w/an RSX-TypeS swap that is getting over 40mpg in the LHT Performance "shop forum" here on TR. Insane.

I just can't afford to a.) not have a tow vehicle, b.) go completly upside down on trading my truck in on a "new" gas sipper, or c.) even afford to get financed on ANY vehicle at this point in time (income is = Zero; job is a 1099, so no W-2 income; etc)....
