Default Money spent on gas each week (for you individually)?

Here's another gas poll.

So how much money on average are you guys dumping into your car each week for fuel?

Whether it's for commuting to work or recreation, it doesn't matter, let's see what we're spending.

For me, it's $55-$60 in a regular week for my SC400 (about 325 miles of commuting).

Well, I work 30 miles from the house, so 60 miles a day x 5 = 300 miles in 5 days, fill up on friday, probably drive another 150 miles or so on the weekend doing recreational activites, then fill up again on Sunday. So I spend almost 100 bucks on gas a week..well worth it though.

If I drive just the GS to and from work and don't go anywhere else $50-$55.
Since that rarely happens, about $75 a week.

Hell, got the ES back running so I think I'm going to start driving that more often.

$45-$50 I would say. It'll be more that now since I hear gas has gone up about 10 cents last week.

I drive it almost every day but only approximately 25 miles round trip for work and more (100 miles round trip) on weekends when I visit family.

The $100 per barrel for crude oil hasn't affected much...... yet.

Seems like a lot of us have 30 mile (one way) commutes. That's exactly my commute (and my fathers, and my brothers). Strange.

I spend about $22/week on gas. That's including everything, like my very short commute and the 2-3 trips to the Strip area (usually for eating) per week. I save a ton of money not having a second sports car these days.

This is a nice poll, it'll be interesting to see the results.

Fill up each car about every 10-14 days. The third car can go as long as a month. Main two cars is about $55-$60 each, so I estimate about $60-65 a week combined. Both my wifes daily work commute is about 5-6 miles round trip.

£80 or $150 a week. The $7.50 gallon is a killer...
