How often......

We just bought a Toyota Carolla a few months back and one of the awesome joys of it is the gas...we don't really travel that far especially in the winter but even if when we are to make long trips the gas mileage is great. I can't say for sure but I would guess that we get about 35 miles per gallon. We usually end up getting away with filling our tank about every three weeks and it costs us around $20.00. We used to have a Ford Explorer SUV and it would costs us about $42.00 to fill it and we were doing that about every two weeks...so it is a great save in my opinion.

We usually fill the truck in my tank every payday! It usually never goes down more then 1/2 a tank, and it costs about $40.00 I'm in Canada too though so you guys get gas in gallons and we get it in litres! Not sure what it would work out to that way sorry!

I never let my car get below a quarter tank. I also live 15-20 miles from fuel. We figure we never know when we might need to make a fast emergency run. So I fill my car up by the time it reaches 1/4 tank. But, if I figure the gas is going up and my station might be the next, I top off my tank. Sometimes I have put off from filling up when I first pass the station in the morning, only to find, when I return in the afternoon, that it has gone up a good bit! That really upsets me! And it's going up daily again around here.

I usually put gas in my car about once a month I dont drive much so my gas lasts longer it usually takes about $30 to fill it up I wait until I have about 1/4 of a tank left before I put more in it.

I fill up every two weeks, get anyways from 100-175 miles. I fill up at 1/2 tank. Don't travel that much, go to town every couple of days.

I wait until the last minute to put gas in (or at least I used to). The "E" stands for "enough" to get to the next gas station, doesn't it?!

I will only put Petrol in the Car when I need to but I will not wait till it is empty lol I know how far my Car goes on the Diesel so I always roughly know when I have to put Diesel in I normally put about £15 into my Car

Sounds like ya have a goo dplan there. WE try to fill up some when we get to a quarter of a tank I used to like to do it at a half but Daughter useing mone for her avon so she fill s what she can at the time of fill think the last time was $30 I put in $10 or $20 when I can or need too.

I put $20 in the tank about twice a week. I like to keep at least a half tank in case of an emergency. As always..... HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Good morning MsTickle, I fill my car up about once a week, when it starts to get to about an 1/8th of a tank. Depending on prices and which station I get gas at it's running right around $35. My car doesn't have a very big tank, nor does it get great gas mileage. I live in town and there are gas stations a plenty, so I really never have to worry about making it to one. Happy mylotting!

Hi MsTickle. I normally fill up my tank about 2 or 3 times a week. Sometimes my husband and I wait until it is low, while other times I may top it off well before we have to so that he doesn't have to worry about getting fuel when going to work....especially if he has a ways to go. Fortunately his boss has been keeping him working (although he has had two days off this week so far), so we can afford the gas, even if we can't afford much else. LOL Happy mylotting!

Once it drops below the quarter full mark i usually do one more round trip to work and then fill up the tank. It usually takes about £43. The cheapest current cost round here is 110.9 pence per litre. I haven't used much lately as I've been off work but I have a lot of hospital appointments to attend over the next 4 or 5 weeks which will take more petrol than my normal working week... typically at a time where I'll only have half my usual income

Hello Ms Tickle, i used to fill it once per two week. The car is only used on saturday and sunday. The rest of it, i use motorcycle to minimized the cost of fuel. I never wait untill is empty cause i don't want the car stop in the middle my travel . And I put the money too, just in case i need cash immediately to pay the park, or something else. Have a nice travel.

My house is very far from my office and so petrol is must in my car to go there. I don't like frequent filling so I prefer to fill the petrol in my car thrice or four times a month as per need. I fill of Rs. 1000 and when I go outing for just fun then it increases to one more time additional.

I usually fill the car once a week, and try to keep a couple of gallons in the tank before I fill up again. These days it costs quite a lot to fill the tank, but I need the car to get around. Your discussion has just reminded me, I need to make sure I have a couple of gallons in the container for emergencies

I don't drive a lot, so I tend not to fill up very often. Unless it's winter, because I've heard that it's better to have a full tank if the temperatures drop below freezing. Usually when I do get gas, regardless of how much I get, the prices seem to drop the following day. I guess I'm doing my part to help every one else...

I fill my car up about once every two weeks. It costs around $35, because I don't let it run all the way down to empty. I am scared that the reading will be wrong and I will be stranded. I live within a few miles of a gas station, in fact there are at least 4 gas stations within 3 miles of where I live. I travel a lot of short distances daily and if I could change the order it would save a lot of travel time and gas.

I absolutely refuse to let my car get below half a tank of gas. I, too live far from my children's doctor, so I make sure that my car always has plenty of gas. I fill the car up when I do stop for gas. It may sound crazy, but my car tends to get better gas milage the fuller the tank. I fill up an average of twice a week. I have just two stations that I purchase gas from.

I put gass on my car once a week, it cost me around $15, because I like to keep at least one quarter of the tank for some emergency. I have a very small car and very fuel efficient so I really don't pay that much, even when I live in NY and the gass here is very expensive here we are paying right now, around 2.80 dollars per gallon.

I usually don't let it go past 1/2 tank. They say if you let it go more then 1/2 a tank the gas goes quicker than a full tank. Not sure how true that is but I can't afford to waste more gas! I have a new car (1mo) so I noticed I can drive around for 2 weeks before it reaches 1/2 tank. The car before I used to have to fill it up every week b/c thats when it would reach 1/2 tank! Ouch!
