View Full Version : How Often Do You Fill-Up?
photog72 01-11-2005, 02:56 PM Once a week? Twice a week? Every other week? Once a day? :eek: Once a month?
I fill up once a month. :) Less in the summer, as I usually ride my bike to work. I only live 3/4th of a mile from work. Last time I filled up was last year! :p Yes, really.. on December 13, 2004. :rolleyes: I do have to say my gas mileage sucks though, 200 miles on a tank of gas blows.
Brad Pittiful 01-11-2005, 10:09 PM week and a half or so
NewShockerGuy 01-12-2005, 04:28 AM My old job... used to fill up twice a week... that was traveling close to 70 miles a day....
I moved:
Now I only travel 40 miles a day, have more free time! AND fill up maybe once a week...w00t w00t!

hmm, i usually get 300++ (340 miles) per tank on mine.
usually fill up every other week unless i'm traveling.
mbiker97 01-13-2005, 04:21 PM 3 times every 2 weeks at least. I drive alot though.
NiTRoN 01-16-2005, 09:33 AM every 2-3 days.. haul 1500miles weekly on average
dingo dave 01-17-2005, 04:45 PM Once a week. 300 miles per tank
da n00b 01-17-2005, 06:17 PM Once a week I usually get around 220 miles a tank.
gtlegg 01-18-2005, 10:12 PM i get about 220-250...fill up maybe every 4-5days or so, it sucks....im either driving to much...or i drive to hard? :p
STI_CAD 01-19-2005, 02:46 PM once a week. 12 miles to work. 200 per tank on 91 octane.
What octane does everyone else run? How does this affect mileage?
photog72 01-19-2005, 04:08 PM Always running 93 or 94 octane, same mileage every tankfull- crappy. Then again, I do only city driving.
RokketRide 01-19-2005, 05:17 PM Unless I am doing a lot of running around, I am also in the once every 3 weeks to a month category.
Yahoo maps has my route at 0.7 miles from home to work. Short walk.
wendemac 01-19-2005, 05:38 PM once a week for me.
420boost 01-19-2005, 07:45 PM Once a week
gerbs 01-22-2005, 08:27 PM 5-6 times a month, get about 250 miles on a full tank using 93 octane
usually 15-17 mpg
tooocool49723 01-30-2005, 11:29 PM once a week. Less if I dont take the long way home every day. I usually get ~300 mpt city, ~400mpt highway.
I run whatever gas seems to fit at the time, always mobil 1, example, tonite I filled up with midgrade (89) becuase premium was 15 cents more expensive (instead of the normal 10 cents) so I decided I wasn't going to buy it.
GC84ever 01-31-2005, 01:14 AM once week, but i usually fill up when my tank gets to half full.
photog72 01-31-2005, 03:14 AM As for octane, you should be running what the manufacturer recommends. If 87 is recommended, anything more is a waste (it doesn't affect your gas mileage, just your wallet). If 91 or higher, anything less could hurt the engine.
P.S. Mobil 1 is not a fuel, but oil.

pezman04wrx 01-31-2005, 11:19 AM Depends on my driving, but usually every week and a half ... I only work about 8 miles from my house, so my mileage sucks ... Usually average about 220-240 miles per tank ... However I did break into the 400 mile club by a few tenths on a trip up to North Conway and back ... :banana: ...
subi_2.5rs 01-31-2005, 01:10 PM i fill up once a week....
BoneStockTS 01-31-2005, 10:00 PM If I drove my Subie 1 mile per month, I wouldn't have to fill up very often, now would I?
A better question to ask would be, "Under given driving conditions (highway, city, mixed), how many miles do you get per gallon?"
BTW, I get 21.5 MPG mixed highway/city driving, with a roof-mount Subaru bike rack. This being an 04 2.5 TS Wagon.
blinguskahn 02-09-2005, 09:11 PM I am now getting anywhere from 11.7-12.5 MPG on my FP green setup.
Therefore, I fill up everytime I pass a gas station. :lol:
duggiefresh 02-10-2005, 06:25 AM Get about 220 - 250 miles from a tank, depends on how much im on the turbo, so I fill up about every week and a half, I live in TX so i am one of the lucky few that can fill-up with 93octane....
But I recently found a gas station at a corvette place that has 1 pump that you can fill up with 107octane. Have not done that yet but would be interested to see what difference that would make.
photog72 02-10-2005, 12:14 PM I wouldn't waste my money on 107 octane, unless I turn up the boost or timing and run rich. The car is optimized for 93-94 octane, don't waste your money on anything more (unless modified).
jmarkle24 02-12-2005, 08:31 PM what kind of mods does everyone have because i jus put on a BPM TBE and a Helix uppipe and I'm gettin like 18MPG where as before i was gettin like 22 is this normal for just an exhaust mod?
nautijoey 02-13-2005, 03:55 AM i'm filling up once a week... and gettin about 270 mpg in nyc
photog72 02-13-2005, 04:11 AM 270 mpg?!?! or perhaps 20 mpg?? or 270 miles per tankful?
evo_kllr 02-13-2005, 05:38 PM I fill up about once a week and im gettin about 230mpg
Diabolical1 CC 03-04-2005, 12:46 AM I fill up half as often as I did when I was driving either my 94 Firebird or my 86 Mustang. And back then I used to use both cars, depending on the weather and how far I was going... So I must be using less than 1/3rd of what I used to use. Usually I fill up, about half a tanks worth every 4 or 5 weeks. I average 20 MPG (US).
Diabolical1 CC 03-04-2005, 12:47 AM hehehe 270 or 230 MPG means they push their cars around alot.
imprezton 03-04-2005, 02:00 PM week and a half or so
ditto. And I only drive to work and back twice each day. We use the A4 for off-work activities.
(Post-whoring my way to 10 :rolleyes: )
familytruckster 03-11-2005, 03:26 AM I fill up twice a week driving 50 miles per day to work plus weekend driving, getting about 20 mpg and about half of the trip is curvey country roads to haul a$$ on :devil:
It would cost me the same to live closer in town since gas is so high but I like the 35 - 40 min of daily alone time with my boost and my music before going home to be super dad. :D
fatray 03-11-2005, 02:05 PM 2 to 3 times a week, 160 miles on a tank of gas. I have an extremly heavy lead foot and must floor it to redline at every on ramp to the highway.
