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

    $5 = 100 Miles (approx)

    Um...no. My car can run on 87 octane swamp water.

    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.

    Try 5.00 divided by 1.99 for 87 (think gas was cheaper last week too) that is about 2.5 gallons. 100 divided by 2.5 equal = 40

    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 use to have to put 93 in my Mazdaspeed, but the factory actually recommends the crap gas for the Yaris. I guess it burns it better or something?

    $2.29 or $2.19. I can't remember.

    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. Where are your priorities?. We have prepay too so we dont get any drive-offs
