I've several times spent less than a buck in gas. Just to get somewhere I really wanted to go. It's embarassing, but i'm sure we've all done it a time or two.

I don't think I have ever put less than $10 in my tank. Everytime I fill up there is this dumb stoner girl who I went to high school with, and she never puts more than $5 in, so she is always there.

i spent $0.96 to get from a parking spot at the gas station to get to the pump, cause my car ran outta gas (this was about 6 years ago)

I had to buy $5 last week because that's all I had.

$5 = 100 Miles (approx) :D

so your car gets roughly 50mpg?...I call uber BS


I put 1.00$ in my 240 one time...didnt get very far..lol

so your car gets roughly 50mpg?...I call uber BSUm...no. My car can run on 87 octane swamp water. :goodjob:

87 octane = $1.99 (I think $1.81 at the time, but we'll say $1.99 for today's rate)

5 / 1.9 = 2.6 (We'll say 2.5 for simplicity.)

100 / 2.5 = 40mpg (100 / 2.6 = 38mpg)

And yes, my car does get anywhere between 35-40mpg depending on how I drive it. :)

EDIT: Sorry. It's 87 octane, not 89. :yes:

gas is only $2 a gallon right now..

so that'd be 2 1/2 gallons of gas

which would be 40mpg.. which I say is possible in a girly ecno car like that :)

I was going on the assumption that he was using premium...LOL...I totally forgot about 89 and 87...I never use 89 or 87..LOL..my bad...last time I looked at the price it was 2.50 for prem...I dont even look anymore..its pointless.

well...I put 10$ in my car per day just to go to conyers and back...when I get home I am on E..thats about 40 miles to and from...

How much is premium right now?....I think I have shitty gas mileage...damn boost!

I know what you're talking about though. My Mazdaspeed took premium and it only got like 20-25mpg. The money I'm saving with the Yaris is quite a bit. Then again, I also lost 100HP. :(

I filled up like $3.35 to get home one time.

I filled up around the V area, I was in my Accord (4cyl Auto), and on empty, I exited at 107 on 85N, got home, and the light came on. Next morning, went to school, came back home, then went to QT, and I didn't even sputter. lol.

Honda lies with their gas tanks, fucking liars, my Prelude scares me, the digital gauge realllllly fluctuates a lot, but i mean, the tank max is i think 16, i usually do 12-13 with the light on, lowest i have put in the Lude is 4.55ish on premium gas.

Not necessarily, Ever read your owners manual to see the capacities? My accord says 17gal. but when i fill up its around 14. A little reserve so if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere on Excitement, you can still get somewhere.

As for small amounts of gas, i work at BP and for some reason, it annoys me when someone is seriously deciding between gas or cigarettes/beer. Kids (18+) bring me a $5 bill, buy cigs and tell me to put the rest in gas and i cant cause it wont let me put less than a dollar. :???: :thinking: Where are your priorities?. We have prepay too so we dont get any drive-offs
