How much do you pay to fill up your tank?

-The most I have ever spent was $27 but I have a small car.

1. 27 to 32 dollars, depending on how empty it is....
Small car, but every time I remember a fill-up being under 10 bucks it makes me sick.

A motorcycle is looking better and better... Much to my family's dismay.

4. usually 20 bucks will get me through a week

7. Around 30 bucks or so
I never really can tell because I usually put it in when it's starting to get low and not when it's on E. I usually put gas in twice a week between 20 and 40 bucks. I drive a lot for work, which sucks.

12. Fortunately for me,
I don't drive.

I work less than a five minute walk away from where I live and I shop in a place that's a 15 minute walk from where I live. For everywhere else I need to go to there's the bus system (which really really sucks but is better than nothing).

Q3JR4.

13. I once spent $67.95
Twenty-gallon tank. I saved the receipt.



That was a year and a half ago, btw.

15. Anywhere from 40.00 - 55.00.
But that's before the price increase hits.

I'm scared.
