HOW MUCH

[StupidGirlllll]

<font size="3">gas money do you spend a week. i just realized that I usually spend anywhere from $30-$40 per week. I have a Honda CRV and mostly do hometown driving, but i also sit in my car with the engine running sometimes. Does this waste alot of gas? So I am asking you people what is your average &amp; what kind of car/truck/whatever {I am just being nosy on the car question}</font>

avg around 50 but i really don't keep track. if i need gas i buy it. it's like taxes, i never pay attention to them cause I feel like there's just not much you can do about them

[Dan 'Hampton]

I spend about 20 every 10 days for a 95 carolla.&nbsp; And the wife spends about the same for 2 weeks driving the 04 Civic. But she works only 5 miles away.&nbsp; The toyota gets about 35 a gallon and the civic about 33.&nbsp; Letting it idle wastes alot of gas.&nbsp; I lose about 5 miles per gallon during the winter because I got to let the car warm up for her in the morning.

[StupidGirlllll]

<font size="3">Yea so it must be the idleing thats getting me to spend the xtra $ because I do not drive that much. This question may sound silly but, does anyone else keep there foot on the gas while they drive? Maybe thats why I waste alot of gas also. Maybe I just do not drive the correct way. </font>

[PapaBear]

<p>I'm so confused about answering this. Are you saying you keep you foot on the gas (with a stick shift) when you're sitting still? Or... Are you saying you push the pedal to the floor, every time you accelerate, (with an automatic)?</p><p>If you drive a car with an automatic transmission, it sounds like you &quot;punch the pedal&quot; too much. If that's the case, DRIVE GENTLY!!!</p>

[StupidGirlllll]

<font size="3">But are you suppose to keep your foot on the gas the whole time?</font>
