$30 for 4 days is a whole lot. I have a Hyundai Sonata and I can usually go a week, maybe a week and a few days. It used to take about $30 for a tank of gas, but now w/ the gas prices its more like $35-40 (depending on how much gas i have left).
My work commute is 25 miles each way plus taking kids to activities, etc. in the evenings.. I sometimes drive 70 or 80 miles in a day. My gas tank only holds 10 gallons so I'm generally buying about 8.5 gallons each time. And, since I work in downtown Detroit, I always have to make sure I fill up before I head to work and never buy gas downtown, so sometimes I'm only buying 7 1/2 or 8 gallons in the morning when I probably *could* have made it to work and back, unless I hit a traffic jam or something.
