Arrow How Often Do You Fill Up??

Hey everyone, just curious on how much you fill up over the coarse of a week, please also post the engine size and about how much you put in the tank per fill up

I'll start,

4.7l, I used to put 20 bucks in and fill up every 2 or 3 days depending on driving habits but now i throw 40 bucks in and fill up about 4 days (MAYBE 5) later, again depending on driving habits.

02 ram 4.7 4x4 3.92 gears and stock tires. I drive with a sorta heavy foot. I dont like to put put up to speed and my truck's computer cliams to get about 14mpg. If I baby it doing 65 on the interstate I can barely squeeze 16 and some change, but i do live in the mountian state.


I put about 50 bucks in it every 4 or 5 days and that gets me about 20 gallons and last about 275 miles

i just fill up whenever i plan on going somewhere, which is usually a long trip. but a half tank can last me over a week if i don't go too far. being in college, most of my jaunts are just across town, which is only 2 miles across.

onece a month. 5.7L, geared, cammed, nitrous injected. But then again, I work for a Rail road, so I drive to work, it sits two days while I am out of town, then I drive it home, it sits for a day or so, then I do it all over again. Thats why I have an 04 with 30k miles on it

About the same as others, my 04 with a 5.7 with 3.92s and 36'' tires goes about 300+ on a tank. I carry a 26 gal tank and average 10-12mpg. Im trying to get my hands on a 34 gal tank though.

03 4.7 3.55 gears. A tank usually lasts me about one and half weeks and costs about $45 to fill up. I dont drive really fast and average about 14mpg. Also I never let the truck have less than 1/4 tank of gas.
