Monthly FD Gas Bill?
 
Thought It would be interesting (and probibly funny) to know peoples monthly gas costs in their FD.

I'm getting 10~MPG in citys and spending at least $150 per month, and I know I don't drive much. How about you?

:Wconfused

Im around 120 a month, and that is just driving to work and sometimes going out after I come home. I try really hard not to hit boost

yuichiror 06-01-07 01:53 PM

< $60/month. I drive my FD maybe twice a week.

DriftTrix 06-01-07 01:55 PM

I am not able to say off boost. lol. I don't mean I speed, but I love pull. It's worth it to me.

There's an old line from a multi-millionaire about owning a yacht:

If you have to ask how much, you can't afford one.

My fd is a daily driver for 6 months out of the year, and in those 6 months I drive it everyday.

neofreak 06-01-07 02:05 PM

$20, drive it on the weekends only

AWD-RWD racer 06-01-07 03:44 PM

id say about 350-450 a month. it sucks.....

dgeesaman 06-01-07 04:20 PM

I spend about $40 month since I only drive a few k per year.

My daily driver though taps out around 200/month.

njstreetrx7 06-01-07 04:28 PM

scratchjunkie 06-01-07 05:15 PM

20-50 a month. depends how many meets are going on.

PureDynamics 06-01-07 05:20 PM

About $480 a month.. Just about 2,000 miles a month.. YES it is my daily driver.. getting about 18-19mpg going to and from work.. Those numbers are not even me going out at night or weekends..

TRWeiss1 06-01-07 05:24 PM

Oh God, I don't even wanna think about it. :eek:

bajaman 06-01-07 05:47 PM

Spent $25 in fuel making a ~80 mile round trip to Wichita the other day. Otherwise, I am spending on the average about $50 a month, as I only drive it a couple of days out of each week, and very low miles at that.

1QWIK7 06-01-07 05:53 PM

I dont drive the car much.

Last time i put gas was 3 months ago, that was 20 bucks which put me at half tank.

Im at 1/4 tank now. So thats prob like 40-50 miles since then?? LOL

teknics 06-01-07 05:56 PM

my car, untuned with a massive street port and t04z is getting 16mpg...its getting tuned soon and then im sure being able to boost it will kill my mileage.

kevin.

FDZero 06-01-07 06:24 PM

I spend about $40 each month since it's my weekend car.

NissanConvert 06-01-07 06:58 PM

I'd do about $30/week then maybe $10-20/weekend so $150-200/month as my DD.

RX7Junkman 06-01-07 07:04 PM

$50 bucks a week daily driver (for now) during the break in period so $200 a month, expect it to go up when I can finally boost.

hub_01_69 06-01-07 07:28 PM

I'm one of the lucky ones with a broken 7 so my gas bill has been averaging $0 for the last few months :(

gafu mazda 06-01-07 07:47 PM

$10 a day,driven probably 15 days a month($150)

RX7LINK 06-01-07 09:08 PM

mine's a daily driver all year round. i spend about $240-300 a month... Fill up at around $50-$60 a tank every weekend. i get about 14-15 miles a gallon at about 2/3 city drive and 1/3 highway.

Barbantus 06-01-07 09:20 PM

I got smart and bought a civic hatch for $1,100 to use as a mileage sponge to go to work and back. I get 40mpg and it costs $27 to fill the tank and it lasts two weeks lol. I used to drive my Mercedes-Benz AMG to work and back, wow that was horrible on gas, it was like $400 a month. The RX7 is a weekend warrior.

I don't get this reasoning. Chage AMG for Civic to save on gas? lol
Get one of diesel MB's :) You spend part of life in a car. Mine as well enjoy...

I drive FD as much as I can, what is the point on having car otherwise?
Looks like I get 15-16mpg with my driving. My other daily driver get's me 18-19mpg. I don't know (and don't want to know) how much I spend on gas. Otherwise I would buy Golf Diesel..
