Default Gas on V8s

With how much money does your V8 fill up. I know that it all depends on the gas prices but give me an average and tell me where you live.

Same here, I spend about $120 per month in gas. Since I can't lower gas prices i'm going to lower my insurance by switching to Geico and drink water, which is free, instead of coke which cost me $1.28 per day for a 20 oz.

Takes me pretty much an even $40 to fill up 87 from an 1/8th tank (or slightly less). Even switching to Geico, I have a $270 monthly for a $500 deductible. I'm trying to drive slower both to avoid tickets and not drain so much gas.

It's good to be old. I pay less for gas and insurance than you do for just insurance. Or maybe I just drive slower.

Dunno.
I gas up every other day (100+ mile roundtrip commute).
It's so bloody depressing that I don't even look at the pump anymore except to kill it when it pumps enough gallons to be close to full.
Looking at back statements, I'd guess about $250-300 per month on 87 oct in Virginia.
