I've already paid for my costco membership 3 times with the money I've saved on gas there vs. buying it elsewhere. Here (in NC), Costco averages 15-20 cents/gallon cheaper than all the others. I'm just glad it (and my office) are all within 4 miles of the house.

I can go over 400 miles between fill-ups but... I travel almost 150 per day to and from work.

That's meaningless information.


If you have a 50 gal tank, you're getting less than 8mpg

Sorry, don't know how to convert it to mpg. I was just pointing out that I have to fill up every 3rd day. I don't have a 50 gallon tank, I know for sure. It's a 2004 Camry.

Fill the gas tank up, reset the trip meter to 0.
Drive
Next fill up, divide the miles on the meter by the gallons on your receipt.
(i.e. 378.7 miles divided by 15.678 gallons = 24.15 miles per gallon)

Ok, I will do that. Thanks.
