How often do you go to the gas station?

Post by SeattleJeremy »

This morning I was looking at the mileage spreadsheet for my Vibe, and I noticed that in December 10' and January 11' my car was refueled every 5 days (I always fill it to the first click). Then in the spring I started taking the bus to work more often. Now its every 10 days or so.It's been 15 days sense the last petrol stop, and the light came on last night, so I'll fill it tomorrow. How often do you refuel your Vibe?

Sometimes 2-3, sometimes 4-5. I voted for the latter.

Usually 4-5 days. Sometimes more frequent, sometimes less.

From May 16th to June 27th I was at the gas station every 1.5 days. During that time I put on about 12-13000kms, filled up about 25 times, used around 900L of gas which cost me over $1000 driving usually faster then 125km/h getting about 7L/100kms driving 332kms round trip to work, plus all the other trips from Red Deer to Calgary and the few times I drove back to Vernon not to mention driving around for the hell of it! Then I moved 5 blocks away from work (12-14 minute walk) so now I fill up about once a week or so with the majority of my driving being the 31 minute (heavy traffic)/42km drive to my Girlfriends (90% highway, 6 lights) and usually get around 6.7L/100kms! I don't hyper-mile, I take command of the road and keep the idiots behind me!Good thing gas is still cheap!

I voted more then 30 days between fill ups, in reality I fill up about every 2.5-3 months!

For me, about every 9-12 days. I drive about 20 miles each day on mountain roads.

There was NO polling choice for "every 45 or 60 days" so I was the second person to choose the "30 day" duration You don't know how bad I wish I could drive my Vibe daily OH well at least when I do get in it I know she's ready to roll

When I set the poll up I wasn't sure what the max time might be. Thank you all for participating ^_^

...since retiring, it's once-a-month, but only about 200 miles or half-a-tank each time.

When I used to drive from Hammondsport, NY to Elmira, NY (50mi one way) I would fill up 2-3 times a week.... Now I can make it filling up once a couple weeks...
