I'm just wondering how much a month are you spending on gas on average?

Gas here in Canada is expensive, I don't know how much Americans pay but here in TO it's around $0.95/L for regular gas. If 1 gal = 3.78 L then that's about $3.6/gal. I spend about $120/mo on gas.

Gas is about 2.80ish around Los Angeles (not quite IN LA but in the SFV for people who know what I'm talking about). I fill up at around $26 each time about once a month. I don't drive that much right now =x.

We do it by the lire in Canada, so it's about a quart. It's about 1.05 CAD per liter so we pay....4.00 per gallon on regular in USD?

You driving a hybrid or are you only driving a couple miles each week? =x
Hax
^Well, I did say I don't drive that often =P. I drive about 9 miles a day 5 days a week and 32 miles on Saturdays. That's about it.

Rofl... you daily drive on 100 octane?
mroh
^^ seriously do u have deep pockets? or do u have some other more reasonable car that takes 87 oct? i cant believe it costs that much more for 100 oct. premium around here is about 2.80
Phaze5ive
Gas in my area is currently around $2.6/gal. My personal vehicle rates 27mpg, but I get only 20. True Atlantan with a heavy foot, I guess.

Jeez? 100 Octane? My gas stations don't even go that high unless you go to a track for race fuel, and that's ABOVE 100..
i<3ramen

raman

Antz
I use about roughly half my tank every week so I fill up about no more than $30 a week. It's about 115c/L.
dasco415frisco
I pay about $35-40 each time and I usually fill every 1-2 weeks depending on how much I drive.
ChingGoo

anInsignificantAsian
About 25$ per tank, my tank is only like 11 gallons and I refill it around 9. I do drive a hybrid though, so refill every 3 weeks or so.
dmlmex

Doesnt make sense either...USA has more demand for gas, so according to economics the gas prices should increase. However because of low taxes (since they don't have to pay for universal healthcare) thats why tehy're cheaper.
syduky
I normally pay $25 - 30 to fill a whole tank. I went to refill today, it costed me $2.89 a gallon, spent about $11.00 to refill close to half a tank. The gas station make you pay more on friday's and weekends so i jus went today.
bitter SOOweet

I work almost every day and it takes me about 30mins to get to work. That's if it's not during rush hours. Normally I'd pay about 20 bucks for a full tank. A month would be about 40-60 bucks. Gas price now is like $2.55.
Gofishus

You forgot about the supply side.

The US is the #1 user of oil and gas by a long shot.
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/a_picture_is_wo.php
The US uses more gas per day than 20 countries combined!

That gives the US more buying (bullying) power because there's actually a lot of oil that can be tapped in the US, but due to environmental issues and other political reasons, it isn't dredged. If push came to shove, the US could start higher production domestically and buy less foreign or actually adequately fund alternative fuel research. Oil is considered a commodity, but there's a LOT more oil on the Earth than people realize. It's not really a scarce commodity. If you think about it, water is more expensive than oil because a 500mL of water sells for around $1 and they sell oil by the barrell for around $70~

I bet that new Chevy Volt that gets 240 miles per gallon has OPEC a bit worried.
Oil is black gold, but only if there's someone willing to buy it.
cherrierus
I pay 25-30 each time around 3 for 4 times a month.
Gas here is around 2.50 a gallon
It was 1.80 before summer started and 20 was more than enough each fill up.
DarkMagician
I pay 17 gallons of 91 rating octane premium gas. It cost like $3.15/Gallon on average. So, that like $50 each time!
JJ no Baka
$43.49 for Regular. Just filled it up. $3.01 per gallon. dry.gif

DarkWaltz
Here in montreal it fluctuates from 1$ to 1.10$ CAD per liter (regular)

Takes me about 40$ for a full tank, and I'm driving daily, so I guess I spend about 100$ a month on gas, though my car eats about 8L/100 km. sad.gif
Tuxedomask
My Z takes anywhere from $45-$50 to full and I fill up about once a week.

Too much driving for work because I'm on on-call 24/7.
