Tank of Gas
Ok, we've talked about the price of gas and the fuel effiency of our vehicles but here's a new question. I thought of this when I saw my new Visa bill and realized it's all gas.
How much are you spending on a tank of gas and how long does it last you?
I've spent about $55 for the last several fill ups. Plus or minus a day a tank can last me a week. I live in the country so everything is at least a 10 minute drive.

My Toyota Echo gets about 700km on a $30 fill.
After it's first trip, I can say that my new ride (the Freightliner) gets about 1200km on a $720 diesel fill.
By my calculations, I could legally load 23.25 Toyota Echo's (by weight) on that Freightliner, which makes the mileage pretty similar really. It's all perspective isn't it

My tank is kind of small for a truck. A fill a up is around 60-65litres, although I have squeezed 70 litres into it if I really push it and run on fumes for the last few metres.
As it is I can go three days on a tank of gas, 4 if I just go to work and back with no side trips. I live in Ajax and work in Toronto so I am a slave to the 401, traffic kills me. I pay around $350/month for gas, but at these prices it will jump to $400/month.
If I had to make payments, it would be parked more often.
