My boss pays for my Dmax fuel, I for my dodge. Dmax sucks down a good $105 a week. My dodge now 25 a week, plus another 30 for my other work truck 6.0gasser chevy, and my dads 08 chevy sucks down another $120 aweek. $280. $14k for my boss, but with natural gas on the place, she made twice that in how long it took to type this lol.

I drove about 30k miles last year to/from work and recreational. Non tax deductible I'm estimating about $5,000-$6,500 off the top of my head. I would buy i small commuter car but i love driving my tuck too much!

Almost 40K miles this last year and I spent about 1800 to refuel my Jetta. I knew my commute was going to be ugly for the next few years so I traded in the truck. Man I miss my truck though, so much more comfort. Less then half the economy though. Probably will hold on to this Jetta for a while too, even though I hate the seats.

87k last year between trucks, equipment, and personal.
Good thing I can write almost all of it off for business use.
But that still hurts.

I was averaging 4K a month on fuel when I hauled RV's. There was a guy I ran into a few times on the road that ran filtered used fryer oil that he would pick up at different stops on his routes. He had a heated tank, centrifuge on board filtration. His fuel bill for similar miles per month was $3-400...or 10%!! That other 3600.00 went into his pocket. He had over 400,000 miles on that 04 Ram doing this.

Sorry, I got off topic some.
