How much have you spent on gas?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I also keep a spreadsheet of my fill ups as well as the price paid per gallon so I know yearly what I have spent in fuel for all my vehicles. So far this year I have spent $458 on fuel for my truck but I have only driven it about 4200 miles since January. I take my company truck home and am on 2 wheels on my days off most of the time.

My entire working life driving a pickup my gas was paid. When I retired 3 years ago I did the math. That’s why my DD is a car that gets 30-40 MPG and my once week driver is a pickup.

46,000 miles / 26.72 mpg spread sheet lifetime = 1721.33 gallons @ an average $2.40/gallon = $4131 fuel cost. 9 cents a mile. :thumbs:

 

IF this thing got the Fuelly.com subscriber average 17 mph that cost would have been $6495 or 14 cents a mile. :banghead:

 

$2363 in saved. 36% :crackup:

 

My first three years of working life I made less than 7K a year. WOW!! :seeya:

Since I started tracking my fuel with the Fuelly app on my 02 Silverado. Running 93 and some 89 and E85

45,709 miles

171 fill ups

3,056 gallons

$8,508.39 total cost.

 

Our 2016 Suburban that we purchased in Dec running 93 for the most part.

17,380 miles

53 fill ups

1,045 gallons

$2,243.05 total cost

 

My 2014 Cruze diesel since I purchased it back in May 2015

35,692 miles

56 fill ups

799 gallons

$1,818.52 total cost

 

Look at the difference in cost when you are getting 19mpg in the Suburban and 48.9mpg in the Cruze.

From my homemade spread sheet for 2017:

17,563 Miles

$2656.89 for fuel

14.91 MPG AVE

2.87 Gallons burned per hour

19.38 Best MPG

9.03 Worst MPG

I bought my 'Rado in June, also up in the Great White North. SO far I've driven a touch over 7000km and have spent $1051 in 87 gas. I'm due for a fill today so you can add another $90 to that. So far it's been driven to and from work with about 1600km of that towing my 28 foot TT. According to fuelly my gas mileage is 11.9 MPG towing, 17.3 dry.

I like to make a correction to my original post in this thread.

I had initially stated that I was getting 21 mpg before my lift and 18.5 mpg after my lift.

I forgot that I was doing the calculations for imperial gallons.

 

So the "true" mileage I'm getting with my Sierra:

 

18 US mpg before the lift

15.5 US mpg after the lift

 

Not bad for a big heavy truck.

But I also don't drive with a heavy foot.

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
