According to this article american gas consumption / person is way out of control. I'm personally pushing about 600 gallons myself and this is before i bought a boat (so mostly car gas, but i expect it to skyrocket now). where do you fall?

Not a mechanic but I play one at home
As absurd as my comment is, so to is a far left leaning source. It would have been an interesting poll without the heavy leaning political slant left or right. Good luck with the thread.'
PS I picked the "blank" option but was registered as 300-500
Give me a fricken break.
Figures don't lie but lairs figure.
None of that includes a work trip to Japan and Israel or any other form of public transportation...not sure how much fuel my butt burns on those things.

My gas usage in the truck is high. I drive 100 miles one-way to ski at least twice a week during June - Sept.
Total gas/diesel bill was about $12k for the year.

Between my 500+ a year in the boat, family runs 4 snowmobiles (1 turbo that likes it's gas) plus a not so economical Tundra to get me to the snow. Adding snow skiing to the mix this year, so MORE GAS to go to the mountain! Guessing way over 1500 gallons, but who's counting????
My balance is paddle boarding....... yeah that is what I call balance!
Then there's the boat. Now its on a lift in the back yard and its always summer in FL we use it a lot more. Rough calculations seem to show it takes us from quite a bit under 700 to quite a bit over 700. But not going to figure it out, don't want to know. Just keep pouring the liquid gold into it and taking another set. If fuel got crazy expensive think it would get the gas, we have bikes and FL is really flat.
Next year I plan to fix that though and burn lots of gas on the lake. :-D
