I only drive over the Alex Fraser so my tank CAN last me 2 weeks. Depends if I have open road in the morning or not and if I drive alot on the weekend. About $40-50 to fill depends on how empty. I have never calculated gas milage or how many km a tank lasts.

$30-$35 to fill up on 94 octane, lasts 400-600 kms, usually about 4-5 days of driving (I drive a LOT).

$45 to fill up 350-400km each week

Driving to/from work. Half hwy driving half city driving. Also for cruising around on the weekends.

It all depends on how I drive, I don't think I have ever gone a week without doing a few full throttle runs I was measuring this week to see what my mpg was so I will tell you how many km i get at the end of this week

daily tsawwassen to ubc runs, with a lead foot, $20-25 US (40+ litres) to fill up, lasts usually 500 kms

EDIT: it works out to be about 24 mpg mostly city driving... highway is 30+mpg.. but then again, i'm running at like 215 hp and not much more torque

Well, I never completely drain the tank, so on the weekends, I usually fill up when I'm aroudn the half or quater mark.... This is USD btw.

So its about $30 a week for the Avalanche on regular.. about 14 mpg... we drive that for shopping, errands, roadtrips, and bad weather.. so thats about 200-300 miles a week. depending on where we go.

Then the Z28 gets about $20 on premium every 2 or 3 weeks, depending how much I drive it.. It gets about 17 mpg on average.. I only drive it when its nice day to work, light shopping/errands, and joyrides around town/backroads on the weekend.. The Camaro gets slightly better gas milage, but its mostly offset by using premium.


Machelle just drives her Tracker to and from work, which is in town, so its like $25 every month, if even that!... doesn't get driven much anymore since we got the Av..

Well.. in the Jeep with the 5.9L I get about 325-375km on a tank of $60-$75 on 92 octain.

The IROC... oh god!! The last time I tryed it was running like crap!! I put in about $40 of 94 and it lasted 180 km's. I really hope it improves once its running properly.

Depends on what I drive.
My truck back & forth to work each day 20miles
takes normally 2 weeks & is normally under $30 but now with gas prices getting up in the $2.00 range for Reg. I think I am going to have to find something else to drive. Maybe learn how to drive my husbands vette. he normally gets close to 500 miles to the tank.

Depending on the price of gas, I usually fill on mondays when the fuel is cheapest. Only premium plus from Chevron goes into my hawk. I'd say a fill-up cost just over $50.00 and last well over 300 kilometers. It only takes me 5 minutes to drive to work, the rest is cruis'n. Lets all go to the Chevron.

Funny that you mention that, I also only put premium from Chevron in my Z28 if I can help it.. It doesn't hurt that they pratically got the largest gas station in town, so there is never a line..

If there was an ExxonMobil aorund here, I'd be filling up there though.. For some reason, there's barely any in the NW.. And I've never even heard of Chevron till I came over to the NW too.

$25 US a week, or there abouts.
50-52 miles a day to work and back. Lasts five days if I drive sane. I rarely drive sane, so usually only get 4.5 days before fill up (3 gals left in the tank)
Avg 20mpg
