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.

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!

usually fill up every other week unless i'm traveling.

once a week. 12 miles to work. 200 per tank on 91 octane.

What octane does everyone else run? How does this affect mileage?

Always running 93 or 94 octane, same mileage every tankfull- crappy. Then again, I do only city driving.

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.

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.

once week, but i usually fill up when my tank gets to half full.

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.

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: ...

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.

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:

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.

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).

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).

hehehe 270 or 230 MPG means they push their cars around alot.

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: )

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

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.
