Monthly Gas Expense(s)?!

MiDiablo · 05-03-2008, 01:23 AM

So who's tallied up their monthly gas expenses recently?

It really makes me sick that with what Amanda & I pay in gas/month; we could own about a $100k home!

-Josh

Edit: Forgot to post my monthly gas expense... I spent $401.14

Amanda spends about $18 each way to work, but she's not done her April expenses yet ((slacker))

good lord... what are you driving.. a semi??

GNs-r-slow · 05-03-2008, 02:36 AM

200 a week easily, yeah this sucks!!! Thats why I am willing to trade the Pony for a cheap on gas truck
101.xx to fill up the F-150 2x aweek. This is just mine then I still have the wifes, not near as much though

BigDawg · 05-03-2008, 03:54 AM

500.00 on my wifes malibu, and my F250 for the month. This is bullshit.

bottlefed93 · 05-03-2008, 04:00 AM

We have been usually $600/month ++ It SUCKS!!!!! I had to start riding the motorcycle to work to save some money.

StangItMan · 05-03-2008, 08:57 AM

Well ... the wifey's Cobra slurps 93 Cartel-o-Tane and my 5.0 Explorer still gets high on 87. We both drive about 40 miles daily. This expense has taken a big bite out of our cash flow also, even with well tuned rides.

Fuel in South Carolina was 20 cents cheaper last week on vacation --- let's all go on vacation! Right-Huh?

Good thing Cory feeds his 347 now-a-days.

Chris and other bikers ... BE CAREFULL

REDLIGHTRACER · 05-03-2008, 09:43 AM

our Expedition $440 a month min
(if we tow our rv to go camping $100 each way to crystal river and back ! yep my azz hurtz!)
our tuscan $250 a month easy
the stang $100 if we take it out of the garage ( im afraid the garage will run away if the stang is not there to hold it down!)lol

so if you guys see josh and i at a stop light begging for cash (sign will probably read help the homeless josh needs money to get frankie back on the road!) so pay up suckers if you see us!!!

**CHRIS** · 05-03-2008, 09:59 AM

I spend about $30 every month.

The good news is that my work pays for my weekly driving fuel costs...$80 every two days. That's about $800 per month.

LS1COUPE · 05-03-2008, 10:48 AM

i drive 6 miles a day

Hurstmeister · 05-03-2008, 11:03 AM

We have 3 vehicles. 92 Astro van, 4.3 v6, averages 18 - 23 mpg. 87 GT mostly stock, averages 16 - 17 mpg. 96 GT Cobra clone, averaging 16 - 22 mpg. We average $200 a week for all 3. Roughly $800 a month just for gas. In less then 4 years we've gone from $400 a month to $800 a month for gas expenses.

Its outrageous. We need to pull together and march on Wash DC and let our Govt know that we are sick of paying through the nose of fuel prices.

Friend of my father inlaw drives a semi truck. Says it costs him $1000+ a week in diesel,.. he just passes it on to his broker who passes it on to the consumer. We are the consumer. Thats why food and everything else will be going up through the roof with fuel prices. My salary hasnt gone up to match the added expenses. I wish I knew what we could do get a message across that we wont stand for this. At this rate,.. we'll be paying $5 gal gas in the next 12 - 15 months. Dont know about you guys,.. but $5 gal is my breaking point. Mustangs will be taken off the road and removed from DD duty at that point. I'll be riding a scooter.

Well I drive from Pasco to Tampa daily; then tour Tampa, Pinellas, and Pasco all day, each day showing our homes.

I can't drive a scooter to work - no way I'd live longer than a week! A scooter on the Vet or I-275, fahget aboud it!

My lady drives 49.5 miles EACH WAY to work. She works in Brooksville! So she puts over a 100 miles daily on the car, and she gets good gas mileage - but it's still so expensive. We're waiting to compute her expenses, and then add in our tolls

I bet we eclipse the $1,000 mark for the month
