Yes, my trip to work is 25 miles each way. I am spending $45-50 per tank for my Vue and use about a tank a week, getting 25-26 mpg. This summer, I may drive my daughter's car to work if it gets really bad. Her car gets 36 mpg highway. She's only getting about 20 mpg with her driving patterns, but that's been since winter started, when she is warming up the car for 15-20 minutes before leaving for school. I think she's using more gas warming up the car than actually driving. I can't blame her though. She's driving about 200 miles every two weeks to and from school, her babysitting jobs and all her activities. I fill her tank for her because I used to put those extra miles on my car and used to have to buy an extra tank for my car each pay. This is cheaper than that.
However, I just got my first bill after adding her to my insurance. OUCH. I only have what is required by law on her car and it's $750 every 6 months. It won't cover any accident damage, theft, etc. My car has full broad form collision and is only two years old and I only pay $625 for my car. Before I added her, I was paying $250 for hers.
My ex needs a job, seriously.
