Are you serious!! [Eek!] is that a once in a while driving. Coming from a guy with a economical car, i spend $60-70 a month using 91 octane. I had the civic and the stang for alittle bit and that worked pretty well, drove that stang 1-2x a week.

I average 19 mpg and depends on where and what I'm doing I'll drive one of the other cars. I go out of town about every other weekend. If we are going up boarding I take the suv or if it's raining.

$65 a week for my F-150...

I will be looking into trading it in tomorrow for a gas saver car. I could care less what I drive, as long as my flying doesn't get compromised.

spend about 60 bucks a month..
Granted.. i only drive it to the track and around the block.. this does not include race gas while at the track.

pd: it's funny how we complain about gas being expensive. in reality it is mighty cheap when compared to other countries.
I spent about $20 dollars every 3 days while i was in peru.. it came out to about 5 dollars per gallon for 91 octane.

i use 87 octane in my 318is with 140k on it...about 350 miles per tank at approximately $30 per fill-up...its not the best, but its decent.

About 50-60 bucks. My job is only 2 miles and I go to school in Hayward and I only do that two times a week so my car sits at home for the most part, hell my friend pics me up before coming to work so in essence I only drive my car two days a week lol.

I think my thermastat finally took a crap on me and closed up. I had a bunch of coolant go shooting out of the overflow tank and the temp g. shot all the way up.

So now I'm replacing the timing belt, drive belt, thermostat, idle roller, water pump, tensioner pulley, flushing the radiator, washer fluid tank, overflow bottle and ATF Fluid.

those aren't batteries their ramps...and like in another thread today (FUCK THE RAIN) can't get much done when its raining.
