How much on gas do you spend? weekly/monthly

last time i filled up it was $28 and it wasnt a full tank ( i drive a 2012 camry sport, with a on the occasion heavier foot) 

i usually only do it on tuesday's because of my gas station has a rewards system by dollar, and its double on tuesdays. 4x if you get a car wash etc. 

with that i usually get 25cents off a fill up once a month. 

 

anyways, gas here is 2.31(as of 8 hours ago) 

 

i'm seriously budgeting to save, and wanted to know what too much gas was. (or i should cut back on driving etc.)

yeah, my tank says 17 gallons, but even when the light was on i'd never put anything above 15.

that 28 fill up, according the the car it was about a quarter full already. (gauge goes way over when full and can drive a good bit before dropping below full-about 30miles or more )

its was 42$ yesterday. 2.33 a gallon. Gas needs to go back down, what the hell obama, use the shale oil to our advantage.

A month? Like $50 unless I'm going somewhere (I put in $20'ish every two weeks). I live about a mile from work, and every place I need to go is in about a five mile radius.

I average about $10-$20 a week. I drive a lot and put about 200 miles on each week. I fill up every Friday at Costco which happens to be a convenient half mile away from where I live. $2.14 per gallon.

Re: How much on gas do you spend? weekly/monthly

I get gas once every three weeks or so..costs around ~$25 (2013 Honda Civic)...I spend almost nothing on gas, that's why gas rewards aren't a big deal to me. I only drive to and from work (maybe 20 minutes each way) and everything else within a 10-20 minute drive (Target, Wal-Mart, mall, Publix, etc). I've had my car two years to the day and I don't even have 10,000 miles on it.

$30-ish per week.

 

I just moved to Evanston, IL, right outside of Chicago. So not that far. I drive more on the weekends.

 

But holy wow, parking downtown is expensive. I'm spending way more on that than on gas.
