Gas per week?

Just wondering if anyone else knows how much fuel they use in a week. MPG is nice to know but what do you actually use.

I just started looking back on reciepts today for fun. lol

A week for me consists of work and back 5X
each night a drive across town (Saskatoon)
every weekend a trip out to farm by Colonsay

My 1969 F100 I'm using 50-55 litres a week
The 1993 F-150 I was using 75 litres
The 1958 International I was using 65-70.

So in other words still impressed by the 1969.

I don`t know if I want to keep track.
The Lincoln really likes it`s gas in the cold weather and the Ranger makes up for it.

When i was going to edmonton back and forth constantly I would use 160ish liters a week.

In january I spent about 900 bucks on fuel, 650 for the psd, 100 for the 89 f150, and 150 for the civic.

Never really thought about it, but I guess with the wife's car and my truck it would be between $80-$100 a week.

dont get an 84 station wagon with 3ft of exhaust and a improperely set carb
was using 40 bucks a day in winter going to school and back home, and then to drop off my cousin and back home, maybe joyride 15km or so and alot of drifting and stunting

20 a day in summer .... but I do have a heavy foot when I need to put an import outa business ... I showed him that a mer-cur-y was not a car to storm

the odd smoke show wasn't good for gas either .... man I miss that car lol...lots of room for the girls too those were some interesting times...
it could take one of those new neons no problem ....with 2 appliances shoved in the back muhaha true sleeper

In the 94 f150... in 4wheel drive and winter, 40 bucks lasts about 3 days doing the same amout of driving
