~$55 every 210 miles or so. '99 Ram w/ 5.9L V8 and ~ 113K miles on it.

87 octane ~$2.18 here

About $40 for mine. About $75 for the conversion van (35 gallons) which we filled up several times on a recent trip. The boat holds 42 gallons and at marina prices, over $100.

my 82 accord has a 15.8 gallon tank. big a$$ tank for a little car. with gas being 2.30+ here, I guess the math would be +/-$35 bucks, depending on when I fill it up. Life sux

You get around 8-8.5 MPG???

Dodge V8s (espescially the 360's and Hemis) are freakin' awful.. espescially in the city.

I usually fill up when I'm between the 1/4 and empty symbol on my 2003 Neon SXT. I average ~$15-$18 @ ~$2.04/gal. (around here, $1.98-$2.10 is average) I fill up every 2 weeks or so unless I go to the lakes or just to drive around and relax. I have a 12.5gal tank and when the emtpy alarm goes on, I still have at least 2 gallons left.

My car averages ~22mpg in city and 33+mpg on the highway.

Why would you put premium in a Nissan? Even though it's a V6, it's a low-compression engine. You won't see any big performance differance. If you put more than 87 octane in anything these days, you're getting ripped.

~$22 or so for 10 gallons of 91 octane goodness in my '99 Civic DX Hatchback. Only need about a tank a month (or less) and get ~25mpg (100% stop-'n-go driving).

I'm in the $10-$20 range.

with gas prices now, it costs me about $25 to go from near-E to Full. I try to fill my tank whenever it reaches the half-way point, though.
