brutushayesosu Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 With gas prices nearing $4.00/gallon in the U.S., I was just wondering how this will effect everyone's lives. I spend about $20 a week on gas and really don't travel that far from my home when I leave it. How much do the rest of you spend on it a week? How big of an impact is it having on your lives and your ability to afford other things, like paying the electric bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 about $80 at $3.35 per gallon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I no longer have to drive as much as I did (new job)... but with the old job I was spending about $55/tank, and probably had to fill every other week, so that would be $27.50/week. That's with $3.20 as the price of gas, though. If it was $4, those numbers would be $64/tank, and $32/week. When I worked downtown, I had to fill up twice a week. If gas had been $4/gal then, I would've be spending $128/week on gas. That's freakin' $512/month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFLR Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 almost 20 every 2 weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 20 a week. Screw the gas being 3.50 a gallon where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 $60 a week with gas sitting in around $3.40. It hasn't forced me to change my driving habits. With the move to Indiana this summer though, I think I will be driving more. We also are buying a home and heating it won't be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanzarelli Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 About $17 a week. I get an average of about 27MPG just city driving. Gotta love having a 4 banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azn_boi123 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Here in Canada it's about $1.20 a liter. So when u convert that to gallons its about $4.54 a gallon. It costs about $35 a week. almost $70 to fill the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Fill the tank twice a week. Minimun 100 dollars (Canadian, but the dollar value is practically even) per week. Gas in Canada is much, much more expensive than it is in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcrickards Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Probably about 40 bucks to fuel up once every 10-14 days. Of course, the real problem these days is the higher cost of food. Items such as corn are seeing huge price jumps because it's being turned into biofuels. That's all well and good, except for the people in impoverished nations such as Haiti can't afford to eat any longer. Of course, we have these problems because we're slaves to OPEC, and we have that problem because environmentalists won't let us get our own oil in the part of Alaska that was set aside for oil exploration.

Yoghurt Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hey, you are complaining about your gas prices? in Germany (and Europe in general) gas prices are at about 1.40€/litre (5.30€/gallon). Disregard the rate of change (€/$). The prices are in relation to the income. Many people ignore that fact, but that's a big mistake. 5.30€ a gallon "hurt" Europeans like 5.30$ a gallon would "hurt" you U.S. citizens. I think I refill my car once or twice in two weeks, depends on how much I'm driving. And a complete refill costs about 85€, which you can see as 85$. Do you still think, that your gas prices are high? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Between $40-$60 @ $3.39. Beginning in May, that'll jump to $75-$100, depending on what's going on at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I usually spend 30 or so a week, at $3.55 a gallon. My car takes around 35 or 40 to fill up though, so I manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPaPa Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 gas 0 dollars. the New York City subway System Priceless. (well actually around 35 dollars a month but thats a pittance compared to what i could be spending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 $20. Tons of things cost money, never minded the cost of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Wish I wouldve fueled up before the price jumped .30 cents around here. Hate it when that happens. It's only around $3.00 I would've saved, but it adds up over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
