I commute about 60 miles per day, and I easily dump $50-60 worth of gas into my '88 Gwag every week. I'm not looking for MPG figures, I'm just curious how much money in gas your FSJs cost you per week.

I walk to work, and my wife just uses the truck for carting kids and groceries, so I put in $25 about every other week.

Hey pedaler! I moved from Edmond last year. We need to get a local FSJ club going. When I lived in Edmond we used to go to the Canadian River and Draper. Do you go to these places? E-mail me sometime and we can hit some trails!

I put in $50 to $60 a week. Work is 30 miles away. What can a $200 doller car payment get you nowdays?

I think the headers I put on have helped with my gas milege. So I tell my self. I would get 10-12 before. I got 11 mpg this week ,and I know I have been punching it a lot.
