Re: How much money have you spent for gas in a week
Motor: 6.0 LS out of 2003 Heavy duty2500 Trans: out of same truck 4L80E Rear end: 71 Chevy 4:10's AC: On 71 I bought gas 3 weeks ago and have drove my truck so far 326 miles as of this morning coming to work. I have just under a 1/2 tank left. I should be able to go the next week without buying fuel. When I do though it will be close to 42 gallons and todays price of $2.27 which = $95.00.

Re: How much money have you spent for gas in a week
If I spent $1,200 in a week on gas going nowhere I wouldn't be posting about it on the internet. I would take my next $1,200 and put it into my truck to make it get proper mileage.

Re: How much money have you spent for gas in a week
2015 Hot Rod Power Tour
+/- $500 +/- $2.80/gal +/- 172 GAL +/- 19 MPG (LOTS of traffic, idle time, at least an hour + for each tank.) 3,424 Miles Total It was approximately 900 miles to get there, then we averaged ~250 miles per day, then 700 miles home. 1965 Mustang - 289, T5 - 5SPD OD, 2.80 If you take away all of the idle time per tank, my car can get 20-21mpg cruising, in SC gas is only 2.45/gal... so for $1,200 I could drive my car over 10,000 miles!

Re: How much money have you spent for gas in a week
Not in a classic but my record is $1368.53 in 4 days after adjusted for international transaction fees. Drove from Healy, AK to Lilburn, GA from 12/29/12-1/2/13 in my 2011 Silverado 4x4 pulling a utility trailer for about 1/3 of the trip (broke an axle and had to leave it somewhere on the Alcan) Craziest 82 hour ride of my life...
As for averages with my old green 72, it was my DD for several years and I got an average of 8-9 mpg with the Holley carbed 383/700R4/3.73 and I drove about 40-50 miles a day like any retarded 19 year old in a fast toy would. That was 2000-2002 when gas was hovering around a dollar a gallon so I was looking at about $35-40 a week. I did the math one time with today's prices and about had a heart attack... $400+ a month! |
