how many miles you drive a week? how much ya spend a week on gas? how much ya pay a year on average for gas an maintance insurance etc? Miles-not sure Gas- between $100-$115 a week Maintance-What I dont spend on gas or food or bills goes to the van(aka...money pit/peice of shit) so soon its got to be all new. Insurance-$192 a year.
about 20 miles to work so about 160 miles a week about $30 a week in gas maybe more and who knows about maintenence. Oh $25/mos. for insurance.
Like HHB I use my truck for work, same line too, but this one is mine and I am responsible fot it all. Gas: $150/Week Maintenance: $1000+/year Insurance (This one hurts): $1100/year
boss man spends about 250 a week on fuel for us,,but its all a tax right off to him anyway.. should be to you as well...
When I clicked this I was thinking we were going to bash the morons who drive with no concern at all for the lives and safety of others. I drive an 80,000 pound semi-truck about 2,400 miles a week at an average of 6 mpg. It costs about $1000 a week for the fuel alone. An oil change is about $140. Tires are about $325 each, but they last for a couple years. I have 5 personal vehicles ranging from 13 to 26 mpg, and the insurance for all 5 is about $240 a month. .
i hardly ever have to drive. and dave has a company jeep and a gas card. i have a suburban we bought for a little over $1000 which is great for all the moving we do, i also have a dodge pickup, gas engine, not cummins, and a '79 CJ5. all of which are rarely driven. my insurance is $640/6 months because dave has a lotta tickets.
Boss man gave me a small raise when I turned in his F one-fiddy 4x and bought my own long box supercab. And he don't pay for anything if he can help it. I got a ticket in his truck for expired reg and sent it to him. He never paid it so they suspended my license. His answer was "Bring me a receipt and I'll pay you back." Riiiiight. What's the work situ there in GA?
