TII weekly spending

i used to have a TII, but got rid of it because i couldn't afford the gas. but now that i think abotu it, i think my injectors may have just been bad. about how much do you guys who drive your TII's daily usually spend per week on gas? if i remember correctly i would spend about $5-$10 a day. i have a better job now though so i think i can afford it and want a TII again.
