Last year I spent about $50-60 a week, that was when I was at home for community college and my gf lived 16 miles away. It would take 1 gallon of gas each way, and when she wasn't allowed to drive it adds up, taking 2 trips. And that's not even showing off. Of course that was also when my OD wasn't working too.
