How much gas do you use in a week?
 
In an average week, I use 7 gallons of regular (in my truck) and two gallons of premium (in the 951).

Throw in my wife, and she uses 3 gallons a week.

So, as a household, we use roughly 12 gallons a week.

I think we're at the low end of the scale. Am I?

Tank full of gas for the M3 once every 3 weeks. 1/3 gallon/wk for the 2 stroke lawn equipment. 3 gallons/wk for the mower. 18-20 gallons/wk of homebrew biodiesel. I'm scouting for a good deal on a diesel powered mower and I'd go crazy if BMW brought a twin turbo diesel coupe to the US.

Two boats, a waverunner (we live on a lake) three cars, mower, etc. I don't even want to know...

Between the 2 cars, 15-20 gallons. My wife works out of the house and I have a 4 mile commute (I do go home for lunch).

More than a tank a week in the 911 and more than a tank a week in my wifes TBird.

However many gallons I choose to use, in whatever week I choose to burn it. Usual running around.. Maybe 10-12 gallons. But you see, I've recently decided that I want to see the Reno Open pool tourney, to be held (I think) in September. The gas used to get there & back at roughly 20 mpg? I dunno, I don't care.

The 911 will be gone by then, so I'll be making the drive in whatever I drive in...as long as it has good air conditioning, I don't care...

Man, I guess I just don't care. Is there a lapel ribbon for that? :rolleyes:

M-F I use about 6 gallons. Weekends, probably anywhere from 1 gallon to 5. For about 10 weeks this summer, my wife is probably using about 10-15 gallons of gas M-F.

37 gallons/week of 91 octane divided between my wife's '03 LR Disco (the big offender) and my '01 Audi TT.

azasadny 07-08-2007 07:23 PM

Three cars, two drivers... about 30 gallons per week, mostly because of my long daily commute...

I usually burn about 12-14 gallons of diesel a day or more 6 days a week in my truck. I cruise around several times a week in the 62 olds/394 and 64 tbird/390 and they can go thru a 1/4 tank in no time. it feels like I spend half my day behind the wheel

The more interesting question is how much gas do you make in a week.

Joeaksa 07-09-2007 01:51 AM

Do not even want to think about it. The plane takes about 4000 gallons to fill up and we have done it several times in the last 10 days.

When I am at home I drive the Honda for a reason. Trying to make up for all the fuel we go through at work... and my pocketbook!

island_dude 07-09-2007 02:13 AM

Normally I ride R1100S. I use about 6 gallons commuting. If I take the car its about 11. Not sure what my wife does, but I would guess 3 gallons for her running around town. So typically 9, and worst case (when the bike is not running) 14. My commute is about an hour each way.

Jim Richards 07-09-2007 02:25 AM

2-3 gal.

jyl 07-09-2007 03:00 AM

About 2.5 gal/wk for wife (drives appx 100 miles/wk in Prius) maybe 1-2 for me (appx 20-30 miles/wk in 911 or Vanagon). Less in summer when I ride the bicycle some days to work.

dmcummins 07-09-2007 03:02 AM

25 for me and around 10 for the wife. So 35 for both. Oh and about 4gal for the lawn mower during the summer. I have a big yard.

BeerBurner 07-09-2007 03:42 AM

Mine varies widely, depending on the time of year, whether or not I'm on vacation (I get a lot of those. :) ), classes, etc. But typically, I probably use about 8-10 gallons a week.

One gallon gets me to work six days a week. <10 miles round trip and on motorcycle.

osidak 07-09-2007 04:12 AM

probably about 20 to 25 a week for my wife and i

avg $3.00 a gallon = $67.50 x 52 weeks = $3510 a year - OUCH

VINMAN 07-09-2007 04:27 AM

I switch back and forth between the 944 and my diesel truck for my commute to work. I spend about $80-$100 a week just going back and forth to work. Now add on fuel for boat, Waverunner, lawn equipment... :eek:
Wife uses about $10 a week. works 5 mins from home.
