How often do you fill up your gas tank?

[Gillbot]

I fill up multiple times weekly sometimes. Sometimes as often as every other day.

 

[Rock Hydra]

I don't do it on a time basis. I just fill up whenever my gas tank is around 1/2 full.

incredible...

so far no one else has mentioned it might depend on the price of gas at the time.



high price = put a little in
low price = fill it up

I fill up 2x a week @ 25gallons. So about $105-$120/wk for me. I drive an F-150 and I have a 38 mile commute to work one way plus various other trips to get groceries and other things. (I get a lot of windshield time).

I also have a Harley that gets about 50mpg that I ride anytime it's warm enough so during the summer my fuel costs drop significantly even though gas prices tend to rise. (I was spending about $25/week back when gas was $3.00/gallon)

doesn't make any difference to me. In fact i usually spray it all over the gas station after i've finished filling up

About every week or so here. I average about $40 per fill-up.

Got a truck or something?

Yup... it also requires premium because I supercharged it. I still get about 16 mpg during winter with 4x4 most of the time, and 19-20 mpg in the summer. I also drive about 30 miles a day on average, I figure.

Twice every week. I go on long drives during the weekend for fishing sometimes ~ 280m roundtrip. My commute to work is 27m one way.

 

[bonkers325]

every two days for my hummer:thumbsup:

 

[Supermercado]

It's usually about every 2 1/2 weeks. Round trip to and from work is about 25 miles.

 

[FoBoT]

work car, 2 times a week
wife's minivan, once a week

sometimes more

 

[Scarpozzi]

I try not to drive anywhere that I don't have to these days. When I make trips to the stores/restaurant districts, I try to combine as many errands into one trip as possible.

are you driving a hybrid or what??

i only get about 350 or so for a full tank.
i end up getting gas once or twice a week.

Heh heh.. just thought of something for a laugh...

At work we fly a small fleet of Boeing 727's.

Here's some fuel info on those bad boys:

It can hold approx. 51,000 pounds of fuel which is about 7,600 gallons.
This would allow a distance of ~3,000 miles on one "tank"
Or about 0.4 mpg!
Each engine at cruise altitude burns through 400 gallons per hour.
Total fuel consumption is 1 gallon every 3 seconds.
During takeoff, the fuel burn is 1 gallon every 0.8 seconds!

About the only thing we are more economical than, is a top fuel dragster.

Twice a week...I have a 100 mile roundtrip commute and fill up at about a quarter tank, so every 3 days.

 

[PsharkJF]

When I go home i'll be filling mine up :]

 

[luckysnafu]

It all depends on how much I ride my bike and how many weekend trips I take. If I don't take many weekend trips I can easily go a month without getting gas. Work trips also make me fill up but I get reimbursed for those, so it doesn't really count. So far this month I have only filled up once and that was only 3/4 of a tank. I will have to fill up this weekend to drive home though.

 

[JoPh]

twice a week! sometimes 3.

 

[Bullhonkie]

I fill about 11 gallons every two weeks.

 

[spidey07]

3 times a week.

 

[eelw]

OP should really add to the poll to see driving patterns or actual distance traveled daily.

Anyhow, fill up every 3-4 weeks and get 1,000km on a tank of gas with my Civic Hybrid. Daily commute is about 25km.

 

[middlehead]

3 to 4 weeks, assuming no out-of-town trips. And generally closer to 3 than 4

 

[Shlong]

$25 every 10 days or so.

 

[Gibson486]

once every 10 days

 

[crownjules]

Once every 2-3 weeks. Taking the subway to work is a big help. I'm thinking of just selling my car because the cost of insurance just doesn't seem worth keeping it.
