I think in my case it's the after market parts that make me burn more gas. With more drag and more weight :lol:

Typically, I spend $50 per week on fuel and $0 on gas.

I feel your pain Jayme. When we moved from Montana to New Mexico, we made three round trips in the Dodge towing a cargo trailer/travel trailer. We also drove both Jeeps down. Needless to say, we spent over $4,000 dollars in three weeks time.

Man, makes me appreciate being somewhat of a minimalist (and young, so I haven't accumulated much stuff). When I moved from Florida to AZ, I did it all in one trip with all of my possessions in the bed of my Dodge Cummins, including furniture. Cost about $300, total, and this was the summer when diesel approached $5/gallon.

Gotta love that old Dodge, she averaged 19mpg for the trip!

I usually spend $250 but this summer I spent about $350-$400 as I was out of town almost every weekend.

I don't really care how much I spend. I drive what I drive because I like to have something that stands out, goes wherever I want to go, can haul whatever I want to haul or pull a trailer to haul bigger things, I could never drive some 2 or 4 door "car" even if it got 100 miles per gallon. I could never be that boring...... :pepper:
I like pulling in to get gas every 250 /275 miles and spending 20 minutes talking jeeps with people! :ROTFL:

:x I hear ya on that. It cost me 800 bucks to drive to Michigan and back, 4000 miles roundtrip. Got a whopping 15.5 mpg avg on the expressway. :cry:

I usually fill the tank once a week, so 40-50 bucks a week depending on price, roughly $160-200 a month.

Very true,plus if I had a vehicle that got good mpg's it would screw my whole world up :twisted: ,I top off every sunday(5 or 6 gallons),inspect everything on the KJ,and wash it and it all takes me about 1 hour,wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have to top off.

Probably between 3-400 between both vehicles...

Really don't care, and it's been like this for the past 3-4 years, so I'm used to it.
