$40-$50/month on gas

less than 300 miles/month

As much as I love her, she's really a stepping stone to my next car so I'm trying to keep the mileage as low as possible until she's paid off in a couple years. I drive her to get maintenance done, pick up parts, and to pick up wiminz

I have my bikes for daily commuting and such

About $240 Canadian (~220USD?) to go ~1000km a month (650mi). Converted to your dollars and gallons, gas is about 4.20 a gallon.

1500 miles a month over the last year, 15 mpg, about $270 in gas. That's only gas though. Part expenditures vary greatly but are done purely on a want basis so far. Then there is oil, premix, cleaning stuff (but I don't do a lot of cleaning), tires, spark plugs. Cars are expensive.

Not much....I'd say I drive less than 150 miles a month. I fill up less than once a month...so, we'll just say 40 bucks.

I just checked my Discover Card "Spending Analyzer"

2008 Total Fuel Purchases: $5,872
I dare not look at YTD fuel, maintenance, upgrades / mods, car payments, insurance, etc. That would be a scary amount.

All I know is that if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Worth every penny...

just got my first 8 like 2 weeks ago. Already put in over $500 in gas due to having too much fun driving.

I had an eclipse for years with tons of mods but this thing stock is a beast. Brings a smile to my face everytime I hear the beep.

Thanks Mazda for the ride.
