DannyP,
That is a bit. Had to go and add up my Exxon, BP & Shell cards - comes to about $385 a month - and for a two driver household. A caveat is that my wife and I both drive Miatas, which gets about 30+ mpg. I drive 4 miles (one way) to work, much shorter than the average commute. The Ms does about 14, which is closer to average, but still on the low side I think.

The Crossfire gets occasional weekend road trip use. My F350 is parked, and has been for the past 3 months, as it gets about 14 mpg and sucks diesel at that - so my bill would easily double if I was driving that monster.

Still need a bit larger data base than we two to draw any meaningful conclusions though.

cheers
