Is that a lot? We use a different system here. How much is diesel normally over the summer? Where do you live?
If possible, I’d encourage as many of my fellow Americans to drive fuel efficient cars. Hybrids are pretty affordable now, usually have great HP (sometimes more than their gas only models), and are fun to drive. The current Toyota Camry gets 40-50 MPG, is the same size as the regular gas only Camry, and will last 10+ years. It’s amazing how much money Americans can save if they don’t waste their money on penis enhancers like a Ford-350 that they drive to the office, church, and the grocery store.
I drive a Camry and I know it costs me about $50-$55 bucks to fill it up once every 1.5-2 weeks. If I had a hybrid, I’d probably be more like every 2-3 weeks. My next car will be a hybrid but my gas only mpg isn’t bad. And paying a few extra bucks over the summer for gas isn’t going to break me. Just go to McDonald’s one fewer time to make up for the price in gas.
