I bought a Lexux IS300 last year, but I hardly drive it now cuz gas it was way too expensive and the darn thing will only take the super......................I tried the mid grade once and had to take it back to the dealer for them to re-set a freaking fuse inside the fuel tank.....icewholes I guess thats why the last a long time.

Our first car (we share vehicles) was a Corrado, red. Don't remember the year because they stopped making them. It had Black leather bucket seats it was a V6, very nice and loud.
Now we have a '03 Ford Excape. We went for the truck cause the familia grew unexpectedly
Previously worked at a Gas Station for Free Gas. Would fill up my car and only pay 5 bux for it. Now I'm hurting and it sucks to pay that amount of money for any car. I feel for you SUV's!

My cousin did that once He said he used to do it all the time in Ecuador so I put him to the test. The face he put on when most likely swallowing a little bit of gas was priceless
....you wanna talk about gas? I don't leave the downtown area and I still spend at least $100 a week on gas, just cruising. But that's nothing compared to my buddy's Suburban with a Corvette engine.........ready for this one.........$160 just to fill it up and he fills it up a few times a week.
GUYS IF U NEED GAS FILL UP AFTER 10PM THE PRICES GO DOWN FOR CAB DRIVERS AND THEN GO BACK UP IN THE MORNING!!!! SO IF ITS AT 107.0 WAIT TILL AROUND 10 THEN IT WILL BE AT 99. OR SO!!! AND ALWAYS FILL UP ON WEDNESDAYS ITS CHEAPER!! ALSO LOOK FOR GAS STATIONS ON MAIN STREETS AWAY FROM HIGHWAYS!!
Got it Fill up before 10pm at gas stations off or near the highway.

$1000 bucks!!!! wow....
Last time I rented one was for a week, and it came to around $230. It was a full size.
If you rent, you should become a member of those little stupid clubs they have, so you can get all the discounts and deals. Plus, I rent with National, and when i rent with my Visa card, i don't have to pay for insurance, because I can use the one from the card. Now I also have a free rental day. hehe

On my car....I'm spending at least about $80 a week. I drive A LOT.
lol That's crazy!!! $20 and less than a quarter tank!!! I'm always looking at the needle hoping it'll MIRACULOUSY go higher!!
"If I stare long enough and perhaps a little more harder, it will give me more gas!!! C'mon, c'mon!!!!"
My old car was a Hyundai Accent and that thing was a DREAM for gas. I probably spent about $40/week on that puppy!!! I miss her

02 Nissan Maxima. Love the front, hate the back of the car itself . Who the heck designed it? Ugh!
It's got all the bells and whistles so I can't complain:
Leather interior, heated seats/steering wheel, sunroof, xenon lights, 17" rims, 6 CD changer, TAPE DECK (TV Buff, we're cool!!! ), and some other gadgets that I have yet to figure out. I lost my manual
Anyway, my Japanese princess is all I work for as far as I'm concerned. With gas at $1.07 this past Sunday, it cost me $30 to fill half the tank. So....I'd say I spend at least $60 bucks on gas per week.
Mmmmmm........gawd, this stupid thread made me think!!!!!

As for a toyota tercel I agree that was my first car. Got it for $1400 and even tho wasn't the greatest car I would spend $30 a week on gas including weekends. Winter driving was incredibly the best. As for hates probably would be burning oil, and had a minor leak in my gas tank Overall was a good car to start with.
Now I drive a Civic and no complaint's luv it to death. Comfy car, I spend $60 bux on gas throughout week since I drive alot (approx: 600 kms per week).
@Salsera - You're fortunate you walk or take the Bus to work. That would be nice for a change not to drive.
@Cocotaso - You have it made!. But no one knows you exist down there
Just surfing the net and figured I'd post a thread. Wondering what kind of car/truck/bike do you drive in the morning to work? What do you like about it? What do you hate about it? How much $ do you spend a week on gas?
Most know what I drive, but if you don't....
Honda Element
I like it's no frills/innovative features... no carpet, waterproof seats, suicide doors, roomy as hell (specially in the back) removable glass top, in the back (I know, weird) full time all wheel drive, can turn the interior into a bed, peppy, agile, etc
I wish it looked better, LOL... and I wish it sat more people
About $60 a week in gas
