Pamy, Texas is a BIG place Most weeks I just putz around Fountain Valley and nearby and probably spend, or would spend if I had a tank of $3.00 gas (which I will very soon when I next fill up). At $3 a gallon, say 15 gallons in the tank that will be $45 but even at 10 mpg (that is way low) I probably only spend $1.50-$2.00 most days.

I work at home - no commute. However, I do deal cards at parties, which can sometimes be 30 or more miles away. I usually fill up about every 10-15 days at a cost of around $26-$30 (my car is turbo-charged and needs premium).

(I forgot to add: the cost of public transit here is based on a zone system; the more zones you travel in, the higher you pay. My university gives us this "U-pass" where the cost of it is embedded in our tuition, and is mandatory. It works out to about 25 bucks a month, and gives us unlimited travel in all zones. We are sent new ones every semester, based on whether we register in on-campus courses. It's a VERY good deal.)

An average week for me includes very little driving, since I live within 2 miles of work. $10/week

Jan 20th, I picked up a new truck that now has 9,500 miles on it. It is rare that I do not have a trailer loaded with equipment or materials behind it. I am happy when I get 14mpg and Miss Daisy is always happy to see me.

So has your fees gone up with the cost of gas? There's no way I could afford to pay that every week. Rn gas is $2.82 here and it's going to get to the point where I can only go from work to home and that's it.

exactly spy! and being in california, it's a long ways from one place to another. glenn, it sounds like you're in the construction business too. chuck's truck always has so many work tools in it.

I guess the good news is it is deductible, right? I'd hate to think of paying today's prices back when I lived way out in a canyon and was driving hundreds of miles a weekend for dog shows and meetings plus almost a hundred on a normal weekday, or later when I was commuting to El Segundo and filling the tank all the time!

The last time I filled up it cost me close to $50, but it will last me two weeks (I only travel 3 miles one way to work). So on average $25/week. I only get 17mpg. DH travels an hour and half one way to work. He spends close to $80 a week in gas. He gets around 40mpg.
