ive driven only a handfull of times since school got out june 9th, and now that my tank is empty im done driving until the weather gets to cold to be exposed to the elements. ive been primarily riding my bike (duh) and long boarding. living in a hilly area is finally paying off, who knew? now before you call me a tree-hugger, keep in mind that im 17, and i simply think there are better ways to spend money than on gas... for instance bike parts, or beer. lets just say i have quite a bit of extra cash these days.

sweet, good work.

Don't worry I've pick up the slack here for you. In the last 2 weeks have filled my truck up 4 times and the boat twice.

 

[dhbuilder]

you're a lucky man.

when i lived in houston, i was able to have a job where i could ride to work.(showers)
the drive in would take about 30min.
the ride in would take about 40min.
the drive home would take 45min.-1hr.
the ride home took the same 40min.
(that's if i rode straight home, which was rare.)

i don't live in a big city any longer.
and i really do miss aggresive downtown riding.

i just spent close to 1000 dollars for gas on our road trip. rode my bike to work today.

 

[jimmydean]

I have to buy gas every time I drive my wifes car (about once a week) but my truck hasn't been to the gas station since the last race weekend.

 

[Polandspring88]

Filled up this morning. 12.88 gallons = $39.00. I estimate that I spend anywhere from $50 - $60 dollars per week on gas, and thats with a car that has been getting anywhere from 27 - 29 mpg. .

 

[narlus]

driving to jiminy peak will kill a tank both ways, but i rode into work today and still have almost half a tank.

Instead of spending $100 on gas to go someplace more remote, for my most recent vacation, I camped and fished within my home state and just picked up a sackoindo with the extra gas money. Believe me, I had more fun than I would have had I driven further and smoked less.

i'm just glad our local downhill wonderland is less than a sixty mile round trip.

 

[Cooter Brown]

I haven't had gas in a month

you know you're a wine cooler kind of kid anyway..just admit it

 

[lovebunny]

yeah ive reduced my gas consumption but i simply cannot lead my life without spending alot on gas, but i have gone from nearly 100 a week in gas to less than 40. my truck barely gets 20 mpg on the highway mind you.

 

[manimal]

my new-to-me subie is kicking butt in the gas market, much different from my old s-10. it only cost me $25 to fill up from full E yesterday and i drove on the previous tank for more than a week. and i've been driving a lot since i'm moving.

 

[Heidi]

IF I can hold out to August 29th, then it will be only the 4th time I've filled my car up with gas this year. Yes, that's right, year!

[Heidi]

but how many times has your husband/manfriend filled it for you?

Never. I just ride my bike a lot.

 

[LOOnatic]

Yeah but she lives in Hippy-town and doesn't shuttle DH so you can do that there.
I'm jealous

 

[narlus]

Never. I just ride my bike a lot.
