Filling up your tank

How much does it take you to fill up your tank and how long does it last?

My v6 fills up with $65 and lasts me 5 days.

Gas is 3.90 for the cheapest and 4.13 for premium down here in DFW,Texas

My Camaro's not my DD, so a full tank lasts a long time. My DD, A Mitsubishi Montero, took $77 to fill (from 1/4 tank) the other day and that only lasts 5 or 6 days... ugh.

Costs me $45-$50 (from 1/4 tank) to fill up my ls with 89, if I drive back and forth to work and random trips to the store it'll last me two weeks. I love to go cruising and drive a little more spirited but my full tank will only last a week if I do that.

Mine costs me $55 (I've never seen the gas light since I've had this car) and it lasts about 6 days max. I've been babying it lately to try and get a little better gas mileage.

a better question would be, how many miles do you get with one fill-up. since people drive different amounts per day.

I just spent $47 to fill up my tank from 1/4 full, gas is 4.19 for super. A tankfull can last me a week or two since it's not my daily driver. I have a 2006 Monte Carlo SS for that.

Don't all 5th gens have the same size gas tank? So we all spend about the same to fill it.

Haven't had to fill it all the way up in awhile. I believe it was last year when I did the last full fill up and it was ~$50, right now I'd guess ~$65.

I never really look, but my credit card says it last took $65 to fill up the vert and $125 to fill up the Beast. A full tank lasts about 4 days in the vert and about 2 weeks in the truck.
