How much do you spend on gasoline per month?

Burnin' oil · 10-10-2011, 11:17 AM

We spend about a grand a month. We live 8 miles from town and have four drivers. Work (me), shopping (wife), school (high school for three, college for two), church events and sports = many daily trips.

I drive 23 miles each way for work 5-6 days a week. That's basically 2 gallons of gas a day. I suspect my monthly gas bill is $150-200 depending upon the cost of gas and what I do on my days off. My wife probably goes through a lot less gas. My daughter is going to grad school, so we are paying her gas. I think the bill has ranged from $150-400 (she's had to do several internships all over the place for the last year.

I suspect we are $400-500 a month.

~$500

Around $100. I ride my motorcycle everywhere. Costs me about $16 to fill it, I get about 200-215 miles to a tank, fill up about once a week. 993 might get a tankful per month.

About a tank full per week. Right now that is 50 to 60 bucks per tank, so somewhere around $250 a month.

$325/month on average. I work from home, but travel to client's offices fairly close by. My wife drives 3 hours round trip to work, but typically only once/week.

We both drive Mazdas which average 26-28 mpg.

We're between $400-$600 per month for the daily drivers. I drive 40 miles round trip 5 days, my wife drives 70 miles round trip 5 days.

I tracked our fuel costs for 3 months earlier this year.

That amount doesn't include the 911. I might spend $100-$150 a month but that isn't consistantly so it doesn't count.

Besides, I don't buy any fuel for it for close to 5 months during winter so it all works out.

I prefer not to think about it.

And I ride my bike everywhere on campus.

$80 a month. My dd gets close to 35MPG and I only live 5 miles from Pelican.

At $3.85/gallon I spend roughly $18.70 each direction for work, 5 days a week. That's $187/week just to go to work and back. This is depressing. I'll just stop right there.

About $300 a month, mostly due to my 100 mile a day commute...

It does not seem that long ago but I can remember going a month on one tank of gas that only cost 8 bucks in the early 80s.

Me (home office, shopping, errands) about $150/month with Audi TT
Wife (works locally, carpool duties, shopping, errands) about $400/month with Land Rover

RWebb · RWebb's Garage

$50 usually - more if I take a bunch of long trips in one of my 3 vehicles

- this would make an interesting poll

MT930 · 10-10-2011, 12:29 PM

$750 Month +/- $150 With 3/4 Ton pick up Daily Driver

$400 Month +/- $100 With VW Daily Driver

I think 5 gallons would get me to work for a month, less than 4 miles to the shop and 55 mpg.
Nothing like living in a small town.

Wife burns about 30 gal/month, errands and kid school duty w/ the Prius. I used to burn about 15 gal/month commuting, but now am riding my bicycle so now essentially zero consumption. No other drivers. I don't know what gas costs now, if $3.50/gal then maybe we spend $100/month? It is a minor expense so I don't pay any attention to it.

mikester · 10-10-2011, 01:12 PM

We spent about $1500 last year at Costco's gas station. There were a few other gas stops here and there but for the most part we stop at costco for the fill up.

I work from home and wife is a stay at home mom (who is never there - go figure!) but I also travel to customer sites a few days a week which are usually about 100 mile round trips.

We have a Prius and a Volvo wagon and I drive both regularly but overall our gas bill for the year is pretty low I think.

The Warden spends about 75 bucks a month
I spend on average about 20 bucks a month but then I'm away at work so that figure is low because of that, if I was at home it would be 4-500 if I had to guess. The Camino has a V8 and the E-Type has the 12 cyl., about 10 miles/gal and the 930 is always punched, same with the Jag so between the 3 it could be expensive but I don't worry about it cause of the limited use they get.
