Wondering how often you guys fill up and what is your commute like? I drive 450 miles a week and its pretty much all city 80% so I fill up 2 times a week. Gas runs me around $130ish a week.

Average around 16 MPG in the city.

How about you guys?

 

That's a lot for gas per week. I usually don't need to fill up I just put $40-$50 a week, my commute is mainly highway. If I do decide to drive the tl to work for a week its about 250 miles per week but I usually drive my cls to work.

 

i fill up twice every week and a half usually. $70 tanks
average in the city is 19MPG, highway is 29 MPG and combined is 24

 

I fill up about once a week. I get about 200-210 miles on a full tank. I drive mostly in the city. I average 15-17 a gallon.

 

I fill once a week. I get about ~300-320 per tank, this is mostly highway at an average of 29 mpg.

 

I used to get around 16mpg for city/highway driving. I'm getting around 29-30mpg now that I'm commuting on the highway everyday for work.

 

three days weekend it cost me around $28 for almost half tank fill up, considering I trying to pull 0-60 mph some time and having A/C on all the time.

 

I drive mostly highway for work with very little "city" driving during the week. Weekends is when I do any type of "city" driving. I get roughly around 300 miles per tank, sometimes more sometimes a little less. It usually averages out on the MID to 27mpg. It costs me around $45 to fill it once a week.

 

i only drive my TL on the weekends so i only fill up once a month.

 

I telecommute so same here. Once a month whether it needs it or not.

OP - When I was commuting I was filling up every other week or so. I did about 25mi day round trip plus other driving (picking up kids, etc.) Typically get 25mpg average.

 

teehee me too.

 

I carpool with a co-worker so I only fill up ever other week as I drive one week then ride then next week

 

I fill up every 4 days or so. $50-$60 depending on where gas is priced at the time. I put almost 700miles a week.

 

Work commute is about 50 miles a day with a combine mpg of around 22-24mpg using 93 octane only. Pretty much mix of highway and city. I fill up every week at $50.

 

A tank a week ($50) and I only "need" to drive 1.9 miles to and from work, but I don't have the self control to not drive it here and there for no good reason (Starbucks, Panera) and it absolutely decimates my finances. On top of the gas I have to come up with car payment $310 and rent $370 ... and then I wonder why I'm so broke as shit.

 

^your rent is only $370? wish i had it that good...

 

Baltimore right? You should copy my friend. He got sick of $1700 for a lot of nothing, bought a broken boat (doesn't run) for like $300/mo payments and lives on it year round.

$370 includes utilities. Most people call it a closet, and I guess in many areas it would be illegal based on square footage.. but I don't want to raise my living standard because once you come up you can never go back down.

 

I kept filling up $20 almost daily for my commute to school and would hit the E by the time I got home, which is only about 50 miles city lol
The car is just too fun to push around.

Got tired of spending that much for a 50 mile commute lol.
Finally filled it up on Tuesday and told myself i'm going to be drive like a grandma.

 

^a buddy of mine up here actually did the same thing. inherited a boat (it runs) and he docks it and lives on it year round lol...

$370 includes utilities!? damn...$370 are my utilities up here. baltimore is not the cheapest place to live, it sucks.

 

How much can one actually save driving like a grandma?

My last stab at calculating it was... about $1.50 per hour on the highway. If I have to go somewhere to begin with (already spending gas money), we are talking $1.50 per hour add-on choice of: have fun or don't have fun. Just seemed pointless to me not to drive fast and crazy.

 

damn i put about 100 miles a week and fill up like every 9 days or so. however, now since i graduated and finally have a social life again; i fill up like every 4-5 days

 

I normally go like a week and a day and put in 12-14 gallons at $4 each lately, I'm averaging 17 MPG mostly in town, haven't even taken a trip since I've owned the car. Much better than my last daily driver at 11 MPG but I miss the extra 200 HP

 

Well when you go from filling up $20 a day to $20 lasting 3 school commutes, I think it's worth it lol.

Of course i'll push the car here and there, but it was almost every light I would push full throttle just for fun.

 

80% city driving gets me 17 MPG - fillup every 1.5-2weeks.

Back when I had 80% highway I got around 23-24 , but filled up every 1-1.5 weeks (longer commute)

 

Sometimes I'm not even sure why MPG is used to measure car mileage, given you have to say a huge range like 17-29. If you go by gallons per hour it seems the figure is a lot more stable. As long as the car is moving, I'm extremely close to a constant 2 gallons per hour regardless if I'm doing city or highway.

 

when I my sister used to live in Washington D.C, a small apartment cost $1500 per month and I was like DAM.

 

i only fill up once a week at $45, i average 24 MPG with 75% city driving

 

I fill up every 3 weeks or so.
She's not a daily driver

 

Agreed on the cost per hour. I fill up about every 5 days and it is about 75 - 80. Its roughly 8 - 10$ per hr of driving

 

Every 2-3 weeks. I almost skipped out the other day. $4.24 a fuckin gallon man.

 

You americans have it easy. Its 1.45$ a Litre up here. Thats about 6$ a gallon

 

I don't even understand how $6~8 /gal works. It gets to the point where you're better off having an apartment downtown in a city and just flying everywhere.

I think everything in USA is super, super spread out in part due to economic factor of fuel cost at the time it was built. . . Even with the $4/gallon it no longer makes sense to have to drive 90 miles just to get some Korean food or 50 miles to hit a bar or strip club. It's no wonder everything is screwed up.

 

Average once a week.

 

I fill up once a week $80 and get 500km when light comes on. I could probably get 600km if I run it close to empty. 50/50 city and highway.

 

When ever im getting low, usually once a week. $4.04 a gallon now

 

i'm new to the TL and by the looks of it, i'm not going to like the filling the gas up part of owning this car. It's been one week so far.

 

Once each time I need gas. Do other people do it differently?

 

Once a week for me. I only have school M-TH and its only like 140 miles a week for me. I hardly have any kind of social life when it comes to these courses.

$54 bucks to fill up my baby. But I do lts of commuting to and from school so right now I think I have like 25mpg between city/highway. I floored it too many times, but my previous tank I got around 28 combined. Drove like a grandma which is not full throttling it all the time.

 

I see you did some good research. Maybe you should have got a Honda Fit?

 

$50 bucks to fill up, every week.
