Is this normal?

When my light comes on I still have 2-3 gallons left. Probably the same for yours.

 

[tommigsr]

200-250 / month

I think I have it down right on mine, I have 3.5 gallons left when the light comes on.

Zero, because I don't have a money-pit, I mean I don't have a car. 😀 However, a monthly MetroCard in NYC is now $70, IIRC, which is, I suppose, comparable (though I don't have to pay subway insurance, hahaha).

 

[Dacalo]

around $90, since i have to communte ~60 miles a day

In San Jose here, for me it is about $45-$60 a month, varies with the gas price and my usage.

My other half has to do that... ~$150/mo. for LIRR and NYC Subway monthly. It costs me gas to drive her to the LIRR... 😀

I drive ~950 miles a month. At 32 mpg that is 29.7 gallons per month. At $1.50 average that comes to $44.53 a month.

Its great not to ever have to worry about the price of gas - since each fill up is nothing when you get 32 mpg. If I were Nyical, I'd ditch the truck and get a good car and save $200 a month. Thats $2500 a year extra just to drive a different vehicle. Lets say Nyical uses each vehicle for 5 years. The savings in that period would be $12500. That is almost enough for a free car every 5 years for life. Hmm (a) never paying for a vehicle again and getting a free one every 5-6 years or (b) driving something that looks a bit different.

50 or so

No doubt. If I had to drive < 15 miles a day back and forth to work, I'd get any car I like regardless of gas mileage. But if it's a greater distance than that each day, the money saved is far more important than driving a feel-good car everyday.

 

[CubicZirconia]

~25 bucks a month, never more than that

 

[WinkOsmosis]

$30 maybe

 

[FoBoT]

i don't know, about $80 ? (3 cars)

 

[rky60]

About $25 🙂

 

[RossMAN]

Do most of you have a 4, 6 or 8 cylinder vehicle?

 

[rh71]

V6 SUV that gets a rated 12/15mpg. Junking a 4-banger '90 Accord.

<--- looking for a commuter car on the side.

 

[pyonir]

approx: $100 a month.

 

[huey1124]

around $180 to $200 a month for 2 cars. my Jetta gets around 25 to 28 mpg (mostly city driving) but my SUV gets around 13 to 15 mpg. i've been driving my SUV a lot lately because i just put in a $1000 sound system, so i've been spending more.

 

[psianime]

~$25/month. I use 89 octance cuz I have a old car and I hardly go anywhere.
