How much does it cost

[Brandon]

For you to fill up your automobile?

[St1ck]

I never even look. 

[nate]

88 dollars.  22 gallon tank at $4.19 for premium.  Never put more than 21 in it though.

[Eric]

Consistently $8 less each time than it would if I lived in California.

[arch stanton]

Less than $15 to fill up my Expedition. One of the perks of the region.

[mrwicked]

with what?

cause uh... i can fit a SH*T TON of meth in my trunk.

[Tank]

Probably around $60, but I drive it so little I never fill it up.

Sounds like you have one of the rare Pegeout Wagons. Those are the only ones capable of a shit ton capacity.

Why do you use premium?

Why do you use premium?

 

Manufacturer recommended. I have put 87 in before but it definitely doesn't run as well and gets worse mileage.  The extra 5 bucks to fill the tank doesn't make or break it.

If you don't mind me asking, what make/model of car? 

[nate]

2012 Nissan Pathfinder.

 

Nissan recommends premium on all of their V6 engines.

[mp170.6]

Interesting.  I never would have expected premium to be recommended for SUV's.  Then again, maybe I've been living under a rock.

 

Did you move to Wisconsin yet?  You might know this already, but in the midwest a lot of people have an extra vehicle for dealing with the snow.  Usually an old beater 4x4 that stays parked most of the time.  After a snowstorm, those who have newer vehicles (like you) typically go to a carwash that features vertical jets spraying up out of the ground.  This washes off any salts or de-icing chemicals sprayed on the roads and helps to prevent rust and corrosion damage to your car.

No idea but I believe Arco regular is $3.9999999999 per gallon. Never do a complete fill up.

I didn't expect it when I bought the car either.

 

I do plan on getting a cheap 4x4 to deal with the snow but we also know about those car washes that clean off the salt and crap they put on the roads.  I couldn't believe the amount of rust we saw on cars out there.

 

Haven't moved yet, leave in two weeks.

Same here. I did a Mile per Dollar comparison between Premium and Mid Grade and found that I get more miles per dollar spent by going with the higher grade gas. Not to mention that the car itself runs much more smooth.

[AngelsLongBall]

Laura and I normally don't fill the Porsches ourselves. When one runs out, we either have the gardener go fill it up or if it's 3 years old, we just leave it abadoned. The beach salt air is gnar though

[Tank]

I was putting 89 in my Cadillac, but it caused a lot of knocking. Switched back to 91 as recommended by GM and that took care of the issue. It costs me an extra ten cents per gallon, which isn't really a big deal.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Last fill-up I did was just over $60 - but that was with a 50 cent per gallon discount from Shell Fuel Rewards.

[Hollyw00d]

I refuse to put more than 20 dollars of gas in my truck at a time. Used to nearly fill up the tank back when I first bought it.

Nowadays, I'm looking at three gallons

Yeah, but then you waste time going to the gas station 2x or 3x as often. 

[1nutkruk]

We have 85 octane out here and I usually put 15 gallons in at $3.49 a gallon.  When I bought my truck they said anything above the lowest octane is a waste of money.  I usually get between 18 and 20 MPG.

[nate]

Fortunately for me, gas in Wisconsin is about 50 cents per gallon cheaper there.

[Vladfan]

Between $105-$110 per fill up. I usually fill up two or three times a week. 

[DowningRules]

About $40 for a full tank and that lasts me and my Prius around 1-3 weeks depending on what I'm up to.
