Personally, I fill up maybe once or twice a month if I'm just driving to work and back. H probably fills up about the same, but he has a bigger tank so it's more. I'd say around $150 maybe? That's a bit of a high estimate I think.
About $150 between us both. I get gas about once every 2 weeks and DH gets it once a week. I have a Nissan sentra and DH uses his Toyota Yaris. His truck is broken so we don't have to worry about that.
DH also has a chief's truck for the fire house but the fire department pays for the gas in that.
I'm not looking forward to when DH's truck is fixed. He has a F-250 and has a 40 gallon gas tank. Even with all the performance stuff he put in it he only gets about 12-15 miles to the gallon.
I fill up 2-3 times a month, DH fills up maybe every 2-3 months since all he does is drive a mile to the train if the weather is terrible (usually he walks or bikes).
I think we spend close to $200/month, but it could be slightly more. Before we moved closer, it was like $600/month--it made me feel sick seeing the total each month.
DH is maybe $100/month (he drives a Honda Civic hybrid that gets 50 mpg). Mine is currently about $80/month only going to work 2 days/week and really only commuting 1 day/week. I have a Subaru Forrester and average 30 mpg. When I was commuting every day our budget for my gas was $350/month (just for me).
