Average Monthly gasoline bill

Answer 1

AAA says their average customer keeps a car five years and drives that car 75,000 miles. This works out to 15,000 miles per year. Other estimates range from 10,000 to 20,000 miles per year depending on income and the number of vehicles in the family.

At 20,000 miles per year with a vehicle that gets twenty miles to the gallon you would need 1,000 gallons of gas per year. With gas prices at $2.00 that would cost $2,000 per year. At $4.00 it would cost $4,000 per year. So over the last five years your gasoline bill has increased by $2,000 or $38.46 dollars per week. Better take a few more sack lunches to work.

Average consumption depends on your home size and location. A "one-size-fits-all" national average would likely not be very meaningful to your particular situation.
