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.
