Fuel cost

[Captain Ben]

Has anyone stopped to wonder how much they spend on fuel? I recently crossed the 100,000 mile mark on my Prius and if my math is right my fuel cost came out to $8,000. That's if I averaged 50 MPG and fuel is $4/gallon throughout 100,000 miles.

In contrast my previous car, a 95 Camry V6, averaged about 15 MPG and the fuel cost would've been $26,666 using the same variables I used for the Prius. So what is or would be your fuel cost if you were to drive your current daily for 100,000 miles?

$13,793 in the 240 (29mpg) and $16,666 in my truck (24mpg). Sad my '91 gets better mpg then my '09

my DD is my '66 Cutlass with a 455 Big block and gets 9mpg so just over $44k?

Depending where I travel I'm at about 2300-3200 a year @ 26mpg est. so maybe 10k $

Well since Ive done the swap on my s14 I average about 20mpg. My estimate for this year is $2700. Thats just to and from work though.

And the driver. Back then my driving habits wasn't really geared towards fuel efficiency. It was only when I got the Prius that I started to learn and utilize hypermiling techniques. I think if I were to drive the Camry with the knowledge I know now I could easily surpass 15 MPG, even if the car wasn't in the best shape like the time that I owned it.
