beth's blog:


what does it cost you to fill up your car?

Published Jun. 9, 2008

 

I filled my car up last week, and I waited until it got to just under a 1/4 tank.  It's was $50.01.  What does it run you to fill up your vehicle?

 

I won't make the mistake of waiting again.  Like some other people I know, I will start filling up at 1/2 tank! 

 

If I had the choice to have an economical l car that got 50 miles to the gallon, but had nothing under the hood or a  car that got 13 miles a gallon, but had plenty of power, I would much rather have the power!  Don't get me wrong, I hate paying out the "ying yang" as much as most of the rest of us do, but give me power over savings, anyday!  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In very loving memory of Honey.

42 to 45 bucks...way too much

$6 to fill up my motorcycle (68 MPG) :-D

$50+ to fill up my truck (4 cylinder pickup - 23 MPG)

$185.00 to top it off and depending on what I am doing it could be twice a week..............

11 gallons (on a 12 gallon tank) is rougly 42.00

At 1/4 tank, it costs me $45 to fill up my truck. On the upside, I only have to do it every 10 days or so. On the down side, I never get to go anywhere but to work and back home.

This one blows. My other for a while was a Mercedes. That needed Premium gas. 97.50 to fill up.

( passes out)

"Besides, my truck cuts off at 100 MPH so it's really no fun anymore." Don't ya hate that edpowers? They don't make'm like they used to...

happy, love your name, by the way. You have the right idea. Sounds like it works well, too!

4 cylinder Toyota pick-up with a 14 gallon tank @ $3.99 per gallon = $55.00

Something is terribly wrong with that.

About $46 a week...

I do love my Accord...:-)
