How much gasoline do you use in a week?

I am interested to know. Now that I am home full time waiting on LO to arrive I don't use much gas at all, only on Saturdays and Sundays with DH.

We use 89. so the prices vary at every station. TIA

Re: How much gasoline do you use in a week?

  • I go anywhere from 1/2 to a full tank a week - it costs about $50 to fill up the envoy.

    I don't go places everyday but we live rural - town is 10 miles away (the nearest store too) so if I need to go anywhere I do have to drive to get there.

  • We have a Prius and we fill up the tank maybe 10 times per year.  DH takes the train into work (we're a half mile from a Metro station) and I'm a SAHM now (though, I, too, used to take the train into work).  We bought our Prius in August 2007 and we just broke the 10,000 mile mark this past weekend.
  • I use about 5 gallons a week.  I drive DH to work and go out with DD every day, but most things are close by.

  • 1/2 to a full tank a week.  DD's preschool is 12 minutes away twice a week and I tend to go out running around every day at some point.  Weekends we take my car too.  DH on the other hand works 2 minutes from our home and only drives his car for work so a tank lasts him a month plus unless he has a business trip and then he gets reimbursed anyway.
  • Not sure yet.  Last month I only used one, full (13-gallon) tank which seemed exceptionally low to me.  This month, I've already used 3/4's of a tank.  Curious to see what it ends up averaging out to.
  • I fill up about once a week. I have a 15 gallon tank and it usually costs about $35 - 37 to fill it.

  • I get gas, on average, once a month, some times twice and I drive an SUV with a 16-gallon tank.  We live in the middle of EVERYTHING so, we rarely drive more than 5-8 miles on any given day to get to an activity.  :)

    So, I guess about 1/4 of a tank per week, 4 gallons or about $12.00 as gas it up over $3.00/gallon now here in CA.

  • I fill my tank about once a month! ?We have a hybrid so it is great on gas and I do drive somewhere every day but it's never more than 3-5 miles.

  • Takes me about 2 weeks to go through a tank of gas in my car. DH needs to fill up every 8-9 days.

  • I usually go 2 full weeks on one tank of gas.  I have a 4 door sedan and most of the places that Ben and I go on a regular basis are within a 5 mile radius of our house.
  • I usually fill up about once every 2-3 weeks.  We live close to everything, so we never drive far at all.

  • I drive a 4-door Nissan Altima, and I use 1 tank about every 6-7 days. We live in a rural area though, and most errands (church, main grocery store, my parents' house, etc.) is at least 15 miles away. Also, we use my car for all the weekend stuff.

  • Almost none. I use too little to even measure, and DH goes through about 1/4 - 1/8 of a tank on a normal week. He takes a commuter bus to work, and we live right in town, so we walk a lot.

  • We fill the tank about once a month.  We only have one car, and DH takes the T to work, so we mostly use the car for weekend excursions.
