How Much Money Do You Spend in Gas ?

I'm estimating $50 per week.

I drive about 80 miles/day 6 days a week so thats about 480 miles per week. Each fill-up is generally $35 every 4 days. I get anywhere between 29 and 33 mpg depending on my mood and traffic.

The car is an '05 i4 Tib.
If I really want to get technical, I can whip out my receipts. I have every gas receipt for every ounce of gas this car has ever had in it. All with the exception of the fill-up the dealer did before I drove it home. :D

When the '88 ran this schedule, I got 17mpg with premium. Even though that was before gas prices got all screwy it was still pretty expensive.

'93 Buick I drive I fill up once a week for about $20 in 87 octane. I drive about 75 miles a week, most of that on weekends.

I just fill up the T-bird when it needs it (about 1/2 tank). Any lower and it costs too much to fill it up with 93 octane :hick:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
