20$/wk (gas is ultra cheap where I am, this fills my car, I get about 360 miles on a tank)

52 wks a year

about a grand.

[CPT_BEEMO]

it averages anywhere between $0.90 and $1.40 per liter in Alberta, Canada, so lets go with a median of about $1.15/L, and I have a 50 liter tank that I refill once a week.

 

$1.15x50=$57.50, 52 weeks in a year = $2990 per year on average.

[Anomnomnomaly]

I currently drive a diesel as it gives better avg mpg's, current price is around £1.25 p/lt and I typically fill the car once a month and average around 500 miles a month.

 

But it does depend on what type of driving I do... in a month with lots of longer trips at motorway speeds I'll average 50+mpg whilst around town I'm getting 41mpg on average. So to simplify things let's call it 45mpg on average.

 

So £1.25 p/lt x4.5 = £5.62 per UK gallon

 

My car has a 60lt tank and the low fuel warning comes on with about 10lts left in the tank. So I'm filling up an average of 50lts a month (just over 11 gallons) over 12 months is 600lts @ £1.25lt is around the £750 mark.

 

Now I actually keep quite detailed spreadsheets of my income/expenditure and in 2019 I spent just £612.28... I don;t know exactly how many miles that covered because I've driven 4 cars that year... I sold my old one in April, the replacement was smashed up by a drunk driver in August and I drove a hire car for about 8 weeks... and then my new replacement since Oct.

 

So I can assume that I'd have spent a extra couple of full tanks last year.

My motorcycle gets about 60 mpg, I commute about 20 miles a day, five days a week, and regular gas is roughly $2.25 per gallon on average here.

 

(20/60) x 5 x 52 x $2.25 = $195

 

Rough calculation, it's probably closer to $300 with trips and the occasions I have to drive my car.

 

[Mira Yurizaki]

Give or take I drive about 10,000 miles per year. At the prices around here hovering around $3.80/gal and getting 33 MPG average that's about $1,150/yr.

[wasab]

I don't drive so none. 

[bimmerman]

~$50/week. 14mpg car + 30mi/day @ $4/gal, just for commute. Add $6/day bridge toll and it's extra punitive.

 

Multiply by 50 weeks and I prefer to measure the car in Smiles per Mile. Car can pass damn near anything on the road.....except a gas station. I try to ride my bike to work instead of driving.

 

Looking at a Model 3 or Y to augment the thirsty beast.

[Danioki]

~$120 US per month * 12 = ~$1440 USD, that is without tolls.

 

in my Renault Duster. and i use it like 4 times every two weeks

[Arika]

$1560ish AUD

[mr moose]

At least $2600 fin my prado  and $1200 in the falcon

 

That's Aussie  smackaroonies.

[RyomaSJibenG]

petrol RON 95

RM31.20 per week, so RM124.80 per month, which means RM1497.60 per year

now convert that to dollar, $363.32

Don't have a car right now, and if (looking more like when) I do it'll likely be a PHEV or pure electric car, so it won't be much.  It honestly seems a bit ridiculous that we can pay couple of thousand dollars on gas to drive our cars... so that we can go to work to pay for the gas.

[SenKa]

uhhh, lets do the math.

 

I put in 10 gallons on average every other week for 52 weeks (roughly, i have weeks off. But i cba to factor all that in). A fill up runs me ~$22. So, 26 fill ups per year at $22 a tank... $572? Given that i have a bunch of breaks, and i really only drive for school, call it like $530 or $540.

 

Vehicle is a 1993 Jeep Wrangler, 2.5L Inline 4, 5Spd AX-5 Manual trans. 31" tires, only mods being new rims and a full stainless exhuast.

[Ravendarat]

$2000-$2500 CAD a year is my estimate although it could be a bit higher. I drive a 2017 VW Beetle 

[Atmos]

well if I only drove one thing a year then the break down would be...

Driving my f150 its about 4650/yr usd driving normally

driving my acura 4100/yr, but thats driving economically, which I rarely do.

then finally about 1100/yr on my bike even if Im wringing it out.

 

But I dont just drive one or the other exclusively, and trips like I take tend to skew things a LOT, like deciding to drive from LA to montana for a camping trip. My daily commute is about 54mi round trip, which i make 6 days a week, and I'll take my bike or car or truck depending on what needs to be done or how much of a hurry I'm in since that 27mi one way commute takes about 40-50m depending on traffic. 25-30 if I'm on the bike.

 

So realistically I probably spend like 3300/yr between the three and going on road trips.

 

Gas here is crazy expensive :L and we dont even get the good stuff either...

 

Edit: wow i get shafted on gas prices, but also apparently drive a LOT more than other people, 16,800mi/year without taking into account road trips but also not taking into account the extra days off i get every once in a while right now, and also ignoring daily life things that have me running 60mi down into LA and back once or twice a week, or up to SB and back. I uhh, it would probably help if I rode my bike a lot more, I had no idea how much I was actually spending on gas till right about now  an extra grand in my pocket at the end of the year would be really really nice.

If I were to make a totally random guess, I'd say about $2000-$3000 CAD per year. I do track this information religiously (every time I fill up, I write down how many KM for the tank, how many litres to fill, and calculate my L/100KM).

 

That's to fill up about 50L, which gets me in the neighbourhood of 600+ KM.

 

I do drive a decent amount per year - around 25,000 KM or so.

 

My car is "alright" on gas. It's a 2L 4cyl Jetta. On a good week, gets about 8L/100KM with mixed driving. On a bad week, I approach 10L/100KM. On mostly highway driving I can get it down to in the 6.5L/100KM range if I baby it.

 

For my next car, I would very much like to get a Hybrid. I would just go full on EV, but I currently rent a basement apartment, so even if I could get approval from the landlord (they live upstairs in the main house), it would be a massive hassle that wouldn't benefit me long term, due to having to convince them to let me install a charger. Though I might consider an PHEV plug-in hybrid, and just trickle charge it via a 120V Level 1 charger (most of them even come with the base charger).

[RonnieOP]

I do a good bit of driving. If the math in my head is right im spending almost $60 a week on my daily driver.

 

If i have to use my big truck then it gets alot. On the highway that big bastard gets about 12 mpg. If i take it to work and back it costs me $10 for that trip alone.

 

 

 

 

[upliftsleet1974]

TLDR: I spent around $2,291 on gas for my car alone last year (Not counting my wifes).

 

I drive around 20k-30k a year sometimes a little more. I currently get around 30mpg in my Subaru with gas hanging out around $2.75ish average in my area. This last year I drove around 25k miles.

 

25,000 divided by 30mpg is 833.3 gallons of gas in the past year. 833.3 x 2.75= $2,291 in the past year.

[iglance tech]

$1000 at least

[MadAnt250]

My best guess is around $1700-2300 usd for one of my vehicles, I don't drive far and get about 12-13mpg local in town.

[PhantomJaguarr]

Work is 2 miles away from me and I'm an introvert so I fill up about once a month at 40 USD so about close to $900 a year. Probably a bit more though because gas jumps to over 4 USD a gallon during summer here. -.-

[Levent]

15K kilometers a year (just around 10K miles), pretty much each year every time my car is due for service. I average around 7 liters per 100kms, 33MPGs and 45MPG highway. So thats 1050liters a year, 7000TL (around 3.5 months of minimum wage) a year but prices fluctuate extremely, that would be around $1300.

I bike or walk, I have waterproof riding gear and its easy to change out of when I get to work, or just to walk around in at the store, if I'm gonna spend a while somewhere I can put it in my bike bags
