Is this good?: $30 a week for gas.
I fill up my 2001 Honda Civic once a week.

1. Yes and no.
Yes, it's good by today's standards, but you were probably spending about $10/week when that sucker was brand new.

5. I alternate between vehicles so both tanks don't go dry........
at the same time. My old Plymouth does get an average of 20mpg city & hgwy driving. Its a lot better than my 9yr old SUV.

7. I pay a little more for my '08 Civic
but I probably drive a bit further. I'm thrilled with the 33 MPG I'm getting. I drive a bit less due to extreme efforts to combine trips.

8. As good as most can get, these days
I fill up ($50+) every four or five days, so I guess I'm ponying up about $80 a week. Mr. MG fills up twice a week at $40+ a pop. Glad he got a raise, but guess where it's going.

The sick thing is, when I got my car (Jeep Wrangler) eight years ago, I could fill up for $20. :grr:

9. Depends on How Many MilesYou Put On It
I fill up my Jeep Cherokee tank for, I think, $55 as of this week. But it will last me about two weeks.

10. Yeah that's good. How many miles a week?
Edited on Fri May-09-08 10:23 PM by Breeze54
My Honda only has a ten? gal. tank but I don't usually drive it that far.
I put in $10.00 on Wednesday, after the $5.00 I put in on Apr. 30th ran
out but I did a lot of driving last week and this week. Honda's get great
mileage usually, especially on the highway!
