and no, this isn't about farts!

I bought my truck on May 13,2005. Since then, i've been trying really hard to keep all my gas[oline] receipts. Everytime i'd put gas in, i'd just shove the piece of paper into the glove box.

Well, the box was getting rather full, so i figured i'd total it all up and see what the damage was.

I had 66 receipts total - which is pretty accurate...i'm thinking i may be missing about 4-8. Each entry I made, i noted the following info:

date, price per gallon, total cost, total amount of gallons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Some stats:

Highest price per gallon paid : $3.059 on May 26th, 2006 [just outside of Chicago].
Highest gas bill: $57.00 [same date].

Lowest price per gallon paid: $1.869 on May 17, 2005 [just outside of des moines, ia]
Lowest gas bill: $5.05 [paid with cash...i was on EMPTY and needed some fumes bad!]

My gas tank holds 21.1 gallons. most amount of gallons i put in during ONE fillup: 20.178 gallons on fillup. total cost: $41.75 [$2.069/gallon on Nov 13, 2006...in Biloxi, MS]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
here comes the real damage:

Average Pirce per gallon : $2.473
Total amount of gas consumed: 861.688
Total amount of $ paid since: $2,1244.44!

Some notes: I use my BP Chase gas/credit card for EVERYTHING. and i earn certain points per things and whatnot. well, each time i get $25 earned up, i get a gas card for $25. I know i've gotten at least 8 of these things since i've bought my truck. so that's another $200 worth of gas [that i didn't pay for tho, so it wasn't included in total cost].

Fun fun fun on the autobahn.

So like I said depending on if your an NCM or Officer and your rank, you probably make at least $50,000 a year but most likely more. And depending on if you live at CFB Kingston your cost of living is probably very low as well, but even if you weren't cost of living in Kingston isn't that bad. Its only $30 which is cheaper than most nights at Stereo. Most of us on here who post about Stereo have put out probably hundreds and hundreds of dollars clubbing there just this year alone, and have never really complained for the most part. I know I sure as hell have.

truethfully that is very cheap...... well

its not alot of you think how much u travel.


but its awlays a dent in the pocket. i remember i had to pay for my own gas my first 2 years of college... ftl!

i remember seeing how expensive gas was in Germany. probably like 3x as much as I pay now. but still. its extra costs like this that i think people don't really think about when purchasing a vehicle.

well sure, we all want cars w/ good gas mileage. except for those assfucks that drive Hummers in downtown chicago [1 highway/ 0 city].

but to really think about how much you will spend in your vehicle's lifetime....i mean, it adds up fast.

on the interstates, i can get around 400-425 miles. city driving? more like 375

a good tip that i learned, which may suck for some, is not too speed to much. apparently around 65-70 is the prime speed for getting the best MPG
