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
|
< $60/month. I drive my FD maybe twice a week.
|
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.
|
$20, drive it on the weekends only
|
id say about 350-450 a month. it sucks.....
|
I spend about $40 month since I only drive a few k per year.
My daily driver though taps out around 200/month. |
in summer i avg 60-80 weekly even morew higher boost, most likely if u look at it monthly its alot

lol your right up there with the most agressive truck drivers arn't ya! :wink: |
20-50 a month. depends how many meets are going on.
|
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..
|
Oh God, I don't even wanna think about it. :eek:
|
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.
|
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 |
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. |
I spend about $40 each month since it's my weekend car.
|
I'd do about $30/week then maybe $10-20/weekend so $150-200/month as my DD.
|
$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.
|
I'm one of the lucky ones with a broken 7 so my gas bill has been averaging $0 for the last few months :(
|
$10 a day,driven probably 15 days a month($150)
|
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.
|
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.

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.. |
too much is the answer
|
Probably a little over $100 a month. I really only drive it around town, but yea I tend to go into boost quite often. It's too tempting not to. :)
|
I can usually get through about a week and a half before having to fill up, and its about 45-50 to fill her up. On the nights when I work late (most nights) theres a long empty strech of road I like to pull to 140 on, so mileage isn't so bad when you take that into consideration.
|
$0, it hasn't run in a year and a half.

If you can afford this car, WHY worry about the cost of fuel? You really are only saving what....$150 or so a month? That is chump change for an AMG driver, isn't it? |
i record 7-8mpg on the untuned 1680cc primary and secondary injectors... so im at about $60-100 per week. ~$350 a month

Im spending about 130 a month, daily driven ~ 22.5mpg last I checked. Averaging about 35miles a day. Best daily driver EVER! lol.
|
i am about 80cnd a week.. its my DD.. and i love it
|
mine problably takes the cake !! my average is $300-$500 a month! rx7s my daily driver, and i was suprised my fuel price was THIS big. thnx for posting this drift trix, now i need a small car so i dont send the world broke of fuel! by the way im running a series 8 rx7 with a 26b. love driving it, however i do scare a few people when i drive by! not to mention being pulled over by the cops 20 times a day! lol.
|
You daily drive a 26b? Thats hard to beleive... ^^^^
|
Let's see. When converted from yen to dollars, I pay roughly $4.47/gallon. I fill up roughly once a week, roughly 10,000 yen which is about 92 bucks.
So I'd say upper $300s per month. |

26b's are very rare and only used in 'drag' cars in Australia! I've never heard of anyone daily driving one... how reliable would they be?
|
lol, reliability is 2X a 13B because it will keep running off 3 rotors if 1 goes out. I bet if that things tuned right acceleration is as smooth as silk.
