Question 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?

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.

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

My daily driver though taps out around 200/month.

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'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 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..
