Sadly right now I have a 12-mile-per-gallon (city) 1995 Jeep that I fill up once a week - it is a 20gal. tank and with gas @ $3.50/gal, I spend around $60-70 a week on gas. The major thing about my dilemma though is the drive between my work and home, which is around 30-40 miles! (Houston, TX IS VERY spread out) I'm working on getting an apartment closer to work, and that should help with gas eventually.

The SUV doesn't get used all that much these days but the last time I filled it up I almost stroked out. It was close to $130.00. The Baja gets a lot better mileage and fills ups on it are around $40.00 because we use a Smart Shopper card at the grocery store and get money off each gallon of gas we buy.

I usually fill up my fuel tank. It costs around $24. I have a 1997 Dodge Intrepid. It is about 16 miles per one gallon of fuel. Just barely enough to manage. When I usually get almost down to half the tank, I get fuel.
