Between hubby and I we spend a minimum of about $550 per month on fuel. Just to get back and forth to work and take kiddos to school. It is usually more than that if we add in a trip to Lawton, or extra trips to the school for something. Even trips to the grocery store add to that (30 miles one way)

Its one of the downfalls of living in BFE. LOL
 
You guys are going to FREAK when you hear my answer...

My hubby pays $0!!! Hes a 24 hr on call wrecker driver so he drives that free of charge. And for myself, $40-$60 per month. I work 3 miles away from home. So if I use more gas, its only because Im doing more farrier work that month which I charge a house call fee so its not like the money is coming out of my pocket there as well.

Husband's Toyota Echo is still getting 43mpg, with the gas prices changing.. he was spending between $40.00 and $60.00 a month on gas to get back and forth to work all all that(also when he was looking for a house). Should be cheaper now we bought this place and he lives closer to work.

For my Honda Pilot... I don't drive a whole lot. (on the HWY it will run on three cylinders, which saves a lot of gas) Guessing maybe $80.00 a month at most, time will tell as I live in a different state.

I put 100 a month on the poll. I have a 2004 Honda civic that gets between 33-38 miles to a gallon. I thought about getting a part electric car but this one is paid for. I'm 7 miles from work.
 
Parents just bought the new Hyundai Veloster about a month ago when it first came out. It's mostly for my mom but both her and dad use it. My mom had a jeep Liberty before and was putting $25 worth of gas in a DAY! It came out to about $100 or so a week! So $400+ a month in gas! Insane! Now the Veloster is getting about 40 mpg and depending where we go she puts about $25 a WEEK!

Not only is it great on gas, it's quite the little sports car and has received nothing but great reviews!
