I think that's entirely possible depending on where they live and how much they drive. I have a spreadsheet with my gas spending, and I've spent around $12k on gas since 2016. That includes some cross-country road trips, and taking my car to the race track, where it can burn 3 tanks in a day...

For the last 6 years or so, I've only spent $3k in gas on my daily, since I don't have to go far and work remotely now. Gas prices in the PNW aren't exactly the cheapest either.

Yea it's really funny how he doesn't believe that covers my gas when I drive a wittle 1.4 petrol every now and then between cities.

I literally use a tank in like 3-4 months probably. Now even less, since I work remote.

I never track it either... If that weren't obvious lol. I also fixed nearly everything on it so it should in theory be more efficient than your average broken down one.

Still, funny asf.
