Title: How much do you spend on gas?
Post by: oogaboo on March 20, 2012, 10:14:47 PM

Since I live in Florida, gas isn't too expensive. Therefore, I only spend at least $12 worth of gas for myself and it has to be refilled once a week. I don't drive too often as I only drive to work, and to college. Sometimes the grocery store and laundromat.

The most I've spent so far was during the summer. The amount was $15 dollars because I was going on vacation.

How much do you spend on gas in your area and how much is it? From where I live, unleaded is $3.77.

I live where unleaded is $4.12.  I do have a car that goes 40mpg :)  This saves me a lot of money...especially on long trips to and fro Maryland.  On average, probably $100/mo.

Where I live it's $3.77 a gallon, and I average around twenty-five miles to the gallon city driving.  I gas up once, maybe twice a month, and I spend anywhere from sixty to eighty dollars on gas.

None. Never owned a car and never wanted to own one.

I now lease my car and do about 800 miles per month.  I pay roughly $200/month for gas.  Add that to the $500/month car lease and it hurts pretty bad.  It's almost as bad as taking a taxi everywhere. :bang Though admittedly I did spend about $400/month in gas before I started leasing.  Now I have to watch my miles like a hawk.

Even though where I live is an average of $3.45 unleaded, I live in the desert, so I do a lot of traveling.  I had to pay about $20.00 every 1 1/2 weeks.

For all of you who want to know why gas prices are so high, why they are likely to remain high or get higher, what does this mean for the economy and what can be done about it, take about a half an hour of your time and readthis paper (http://www.theoildrum.com/node/9015). It covers all the basics of the geological and economic sides of the oil supply and demand problem, and provides a bunch of references for further reading.

None. I don't own a car and I can't drive (at the moment).
