    How often do you fill your gas tank?

    I usualy fill it up at half a tank (35 liters), today when I went to the gas staion I spent $240.00 Pesos (about $20.90 USD). Half a tank lasts me about 300 km combination of city and highway driving.

    How about you guys?

    How much do you spend to fill it? How many gallons (or liters)?

    My dad always fills it at the redlight. So he has plenty of time to find a gas station He gets 45-50 litres for round and about 70 euro's. Damn taxes.

    About 35 litres every time (capacity is 42 litres). At current gas prices that would be around €40 (95 petrol @ €1.18/l , 98 is a waste of money at €1.28/l).
    And well I fill it up when it needs filling up. Duh. Always try to run your car as empty as possible. Old petrol that always stays inside the tank builds up crap that you don't want to have in your tank.

    Can you convert that to Gallons/miles hector? haha Um, well the Touareg gets about 11MPG, gas is about $2.05 a gallon, and it's a 22 Gallon tank. So Roughly $50 a tank, every 250 miles (spirited driving, or roughly 15 mpg with normal driving, so) every 330~ with regular usage

    In high school, when I drove my Civic to school and back every day I'd fill up every two weeks or so, and a tank of gas would get me 220 miles or so. I don't drive as much now, so I don't fill it up nearly as often. When I do drive, it's mostly highway driving (between Charlottesville and Falls Church (about 120 miles one way)), and I can get upwards of 300 miles to a tank.

    Usually, I let it get pretty close to empty, and put in roughly 10 gallons. How much I spend naturally depends on the price of gas, but it's generally between $20 and $30 (usually closer to $30 nowadays).

    Driving to school everyday is 130 miles round trip. Add another 20 if I have work that day. Even at 360-400 miles a tank, that's a fill up every other day pretty much. Today's tank cost $28. And I'll probably need to get gas again Tuesday at the latest.

    I drive at least 20 miles each day, and usually fill up every week and a half. It's gotten shorter as it's gotten colder...

    Usually every 10 to 15 days, depending on how much I drive. My Passat gets very good milage considering that it's a V6. I get around 500kms for 45 litres, which is about $45. (Which is $40 USD, or 32€)

    Usually every 2 weeks at around $40 a tank. Back when I delivered every day it was more like every 3 days.
