About the same here. Although sometimes road rage kicks in thanks to the absurd amount of mornic drivers here in NoVA and I burn through it a little faster trying to get away from people.

Like a week, if that. I'm still being a bit stupid and wasting gas, because I hate sitting inside on off days.

About the same. Sometimes a little more. Sometimes a little less. How's that for a worthless contribution.

I drive a 2001 Honda Civic.

Ten days to two weeks depending on how far I have to go to get to gigs on the weekends. During the week, I drive to work, and I drive home, and my truck waits in the driveway until I have to go to work again.

My tank holds something on the order of 27 gallons, so that fill up every other week is still a big old kick in the crotch.

That's my nomination for the irrelevant post of the year.

Where you live - how much you drive - where you drive - how many miles....just a few of the many factors making the question irrelevant as phrased.

Next up for your consideration: 'How long is a ball of string?"

I'll watch to look for a Hummer that goes through a tank every month because it's not driven, and a prius that goes through a tank a week. Both are perfectly reasonable

200 miles. It all depends on how many days i have to go to town. 200 miles is about 4 round trips.

I drive a lot :\. I've had my car for a year and put 22k miles on it. I have a 15 gallon tank, it usually gets me 200-240 miles. If I'm doing all highway I can get 300-340 out of it. Usually that lasts me 6-7 days. During the school year, a tank can last me a few weeks because I'll go several days without driving anywhere. But during summer, I drive everyday.... depending on what errands I have I'll do 100 miles in a day. Also doesn't help that my car is far from the most economical out there, haha.

My GTI has a 14-gallon tank, and I fill it about every 10 to 14 days. I use about eight gallons a week, on average.

And an irrelevant reply to an irrelevant post.

I have been outdone. <golf clap>

The last time i drove consistently was this past summer-so May 2007-August of 2007. I did very minimal driving [50 miles week or less]. A tank would last me about 2 weeks if i remember correctly. That sucked even then-I'm so used to taking public transit here in Chicago that when i drive in Lafayette the cost is a shocker [$75/month for unlimited public transit vs. $80ish a month for gas when it was $2/gallon]. A tank = 25 gallons for me in my Impala. That car is now for sale.

When my Grandma died-i got her car. The main reason that I am keeping it is to that i have a car to drive when i go back to Lafayette for vacations/see family . The car is parked in the drive way at my Mom's house. 1992 Dodge Dynasty-i haven't seen it yet, but it has to be better on gas than the Impala.

1 month-6 weeks...A bicycle can help with the old gas problem, as does living .5 miles from work and a grocery store. Having practice at my place AND living about 50 yards from a pub.

I have a Subaru Impreza Wagon. Lately from full - 1/4 tank I've been going about a week, though I've had a lot of gigs lately. Now that I'm pretty much just commuting to rehearsal while we have a break for a few weeks it will be maybe a week 1/2 - 2 weeks.
