As I've said before, I'm no expert on these gas figures but my mom said my xA only takes about $12.00-somthing to fill up half the tank (when the meter goes half & you want it filled completely). I'd say that's a pretty sweet deal compared to our SUV which is $40-something for gas! :tap: How much do you guys pay to fill half your tank? It differ from state to state.

half a tank takes me $10

I don't think you can measure half a tank from the gauge. When you show empty you have well over a gallon left.

My gas indicator is flashin right now :( I'll let you guys know what I paid and for how much gas later tonight :D Though it will probably be $2.39 a gallon

I don't know about half tank but I usually wait for the gas indicator to flash. This last time I paid $18.42 to fill the tank with 8.61 gal at $2.14/gal. (Kinda nerdy I know but I've been tracking my mpg with my palm pilot.)

What's your MPG been like xxAVxx? Mine's been around 30... I think I need to check my tire inflation :(

Average - 31.51mpg

Averaging between 290 to 320 miles between fill ups which are all usually close to 'R'

Most spent 21.47; least 18.42

I spent $19.50 on 9.2 gallons Monday @ $2.199/ gallon. I'm getting 37.5 to 39mpg on my commute. That tank came out to 37.8mpg. I run 65-70mph on the interstate. Just running around town and the hood I'm getting 32mpg.

Let's see...

- Unleaded regular 87 octane has varied from over $3 a gallon to just over $2 a gallon in the past few months.

- On a cool morning a tank reading half full might read closer to 3/4 full after a warm, sunny afternoon due to temperature-related changes in the gasoline's density.

- Gauges read differently depending on whether you've been braking, accelerating, or turning left or right.

Given the above, I'd say half a tank of gas costs me about $8. Or $25. Or $17. Sometimes it costs over $30, but that includes groceries and a touchless car wash when it's dusty. I'm not really sure, since other than keeping an eye out for the lowest current $/gal, I wait till I'm between the 1/4 and R marks, then pull into a station, swipe my plastic and go till it clicks off.

I'm more concerned with babying it on cold mornings, and comparing my right foot pressure with my mpg. More pressure = lower mpg, consistently! :)

paid 2.07 today....E was blinking...around 20.00 bucks SWEET!!

I usually pay about 10 dollars for half a tank, and that is with 89 octane.

The most I have ever paid for gas in my car was 34.50. Was for a complete fill up when gas was $3.39 per gallon of 89 octane. :relief:

At $1.96 a gallon here, it's under $10 for me...

^ Good deal. Gas is at about $2.20 in Northern VA - higher in DC and MD.

$20 @ 390 miles to the tank at my last fill up.
The colder months are ahead so the miles per tank will drop.
During the warmer months I usually run between 39-42 MPG. All highway to and from the office.

im just glad gas prices are declining phew

Unless you've done something to your engine that would make need higher than 87 octane you're probably wasting your money. They're setup to run 87. Car and Driver did a test a few years back that pretty much proved that engines designed to run 87 actually made less HP running higher octane gas. I know these words can nearly stir fights in some crowds, so please don't take offense to this.
