I was gonna direct this at txwinner since he seems to have gas prices on the brain, but decided not to be a troll and see how much yall use a week.<br /><br />Between wife and I we use about 25 gallons a week, but average out over the year probably 30 gallons/wk if include longer trips.<br /><br />Ken

Probably about 10-15. I could probably cut it to 5 if I really had to.

Re: So how much gas do you use a week?

Unfortunately, I also drive quite a bit in my business. I avg about 50 gals a week. Daughter goes to college 150 miles away and comes home on weekends. She uses about 20 gals. Wife is 35 miles from work. 30 gals minimum. Son is luckily 4 miles from work. 10 gals.<br /><br />That's about 110 gals a week. :eek:

I use 16 gallons a week with a 15 mile commute each way to work. Our standard unleaded petrol is now A$1.30 a litre or US$3.70 a gallon! <br /><br />However Ms T uses LPG and does 335 miles a week on US$25 of gas in a 4.0L Ford Falcon! That's why all our taxis use gas.

I live in a small town so I can walk most places. Average 3 to 5 galons a week in my personal vehicles. <br />My patrol vehicle, a 2002 Dodge Durango I average 60 galons a week.

I have a Suburban and an Expedition. I gave up counting..<br /><br />Realistically about 20-25. Mainly because we go to the cabin every weekend. That is stopping after this weekend so the amount should decrease..

Re: So how much gas do you use a week?

The mrs uses about 10 a week. My service van gets filled up about twice a week and the bucket truck once a week. That is 64 gallons of fuel for me. <br /><br />I will be busy after my boat is hauled in October. Then I will make my kit to run fryer oil in my bucket truck. Probably will use it on service calls once that is done.<br /><br />I had a vision of the oil executives sitting in a room around a table just laughing their hinneys off at us. :(

at least 25 gal/week maybe 30<br /><br />Every $1.00 increase costs me $100 to $125 a month...if it keeps going up we will curtail our driving...and that really pisses me off!

I guess between the wife, son and me we use about 80 gallons a week. I commute 40 miles one way and they each have about a 5 mile commute each to work and school.

Re: So how much gas do you use a week?

Between wife and I we use 40 to 50 gallons a week.<br /><br />BTW I reset the mpg in the Town Car's "Control Center" this morning and did my usual 40 mile drive to work. Except I kept the max speed at 55 (except downhill). Car averaged 25.5 mpg. Thats a 4 mpg increase over my usual driving at 75 - 80!!! Woo Hoo! And to think I was going to trade it in on a Toyota. HA!

I use 15 gallons a week if I only go to and from work. But know that I am getting single, and moving closer to 25 to 30 gallons a week! :eek: I have just picked up a roller skate to cut that down, should get it this weekend (bought it from my Daughter (baby seat don't fit in it)). And I am moving 15 minutes closer to work (and girls). ;) :rolleyes:
