About once a week with a 42 mile round trip to and from work plus other short errands. Drive a '07 Ford Fusion which gets surprisingly crappy gas mileage.
I drive almost every day. Home to office is just under 10 miles each way. Grocery store and restaurants are less 3 miles from the house. Almost all of my clients are looking in 1 city, which totals 45 square miles of land. Friends live close by. Shopping and recreation is no more than 10 minutes away from my house. Don't really go out of town that often. Bought car 11/1/2012 with 18,650 miles, now at 25,300. Just me driving, don't have to shuttle around kids
You drive an average of 830 miles a month and you fill up one a week? The 2.5 EPA combined MPG rating is 28 and the 3.5 is 23. It has a 20 gallon tank so 540 or 460 per tank. Once a week sounds like a lot.
When my work is in session (I'm off during the summer), I get gas 1x a week in which I always fill up the tank. I work about 30 min, 1-way, 4 days a week.

I'm not the O.P. I fill up with about 850 miles a month about a little over ever 2 weeks.
'Tis a silly question...
However, I never fill up. I just get a new car whenever it starts to get low....
Actually every time the gauge gets down near empty, which happens at around 400-450 miles like clockwork. Once got 500 miles on one tank (about 10 gallons).
Uh.........It depends on how often I drive,,,duh I found that driving it every day uses more fuel than if I drive it once a week. I think there is a correlation between the 2 but haven't figured it out yet.
Never...but I put diesel in about every 3 weeks. Had to fill it up after returning from a 100 mile road trip. I was able to get over 700 miles/tank, and averaged 49 mpg...no where near as good as Merc's overall average. The average for the vehicle's life has been 43 MPG currently, which is good enough for me...for now.
