How often do you fill up your gas tank?

[cherrytwist]

If by "fill up your gas tank" you mean *******" then you need to change your poll.

Oh, and once a week.

Credit card! Cash back too!

Every 3 weeks for me.

 

[Beattie]

I drive ~75 miles one way to work every day.

 

[Baked]

Every 3 weeks. I don't drive much. Gonna be more like every 5 weeks during the winter break.

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.

Yes, but most of us can't fit a couple hundred people in our cars. 🙂

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

Well, for those who work, price won't make a difference seeing how they need to go to work.

I have to fill up 1x week regardless if it's $5/gallon or $2/gallon.

Why would prepay make it hard to fill up?

 

[Chaotic42]

Three times per week.

 

[Eli]

More than twice a week. 🙁

9/16MPG sucks.

I need a new automobile.

 

[RGUN]

When I had my bike I would have to fill it up everyday, but it was only like $15 at a time.

 

[KrillBee]

I drive a Nissan Maxima and I only average about 20 mpg 🙁 (i do 95% of my driving in town)
so yeah thats about 200 miles on 10 gallons of fuel.

how the **** are some of you guys gettin 500-600 miles on your tank? Hydro electic cars?

 

[OrganizedChaos]

every 200 miles I put about 15 gallons in. tank is between 18-20 gallons.

Haha I have a Nissan Maxima also. Year 1996 holds 16 gallons of gasoline and runs 300 miles on a single tank. I usually fill it up every 2 to 4 weeks since i dont drive that much.

 

[vegetation]

About once a week. Used to have to fill up three times a week, as I did a cr@pload of driving (33mpg vehicle too).

 

[imported_malcontent]

On average, about every two weeks, with normal driving.

 

[xanis]

Once a week for a mid-size SUV, I don't do a whole lot of driving.

Yep, 96 is the one I got.

Great car! I just wish it got better gas mileage!
