2) DOn't know

3) Daily - I'm a pizza delivery driver 😛

4) Usually around 13-14 bucks.

What's the conversion from miles to km's again--I'm Canadian.

I think it's multiply by .4, right? All I know is that 50 miles is like 90 km's or something...
 
TRUCK:

round 8 mpg.

2 tanks, 25 gallon 20 gallon

generally fill up every 300 or so miles.

dont know oil consumption, but it's less than the camry.

60 mph is 100 kph.

edit:

to go from miles to kilometers, divide by .6.

to go the other way, k to m, multiply by .6.

62 actually. KM x .62 = Miles
 
I'm helpless, I stink at math. I right now have 365 km's on my car and I'm pushing empty...I'm testing to see when the low fuel indicator is gonna kick in a la Kramer from Seinfeld-- once the gage kicks in I should have 50 km's left worth of gas.

My tank is a 45 litre capacity, and the most I've ever spent on a fill up is $24, the least amount was $19.

every 1-2 weeks

In the fall, around 380KM before a refill. With less time spent warming the car, a tank does go further. Once a week. $33Cdn a fill for 55l tank running almost empty.

In the winter now, mileage is bad. 300KM and it needs another go. I'm still inefficient with my driving habit. Newbie manual tran driver, I tend to over apply the gas at stop-go situations, afraid the vehicle may stall.
