Me? Maybe $30. I usually ride with my wife (we're 25 miles out of town).
Her? Way over $100. F-250 with a V10. It is just painful but she needs the big truck to haul her house cleaning stuff like vacuums and carpet cleaners.

I average about 1 fillup a month in the car at around $40... so, $10 a week, maybe?
Add at least a tank of gas in the bike each week, and I spend on average 20-25/wk on gas.
I'm in a lucky state that gets to ride year round

My wife and I spend about $35/week in the summer. That is increasing weekly though it seems.

Dunno, I ride the bike.
I'm not bitching since it's better than filling the truck, but it's sad that I'm spending $15-$25 a week for a friggin bike though....

Around 100 between the Silverado and the family van. All depends if I have meetings downtown ATL as sitting in rush hour burns the gas adn whether SO has to work onsite at the school.
Otherwise one of the lucky ones get to work from home unless I am on site with a customer. But my expenses for airfare are climbing!!
Love my Krogers keep getting 10 cent off a gallon when I fill up there aint a lot but makes that 55 buck fillup feel a bit better like I am really saving money...LOL

At this time just driving my truck to work is hitting me up to the tune of about $65.00 a week if I don't ride the scoot.
I ride the bike to work whenever I can. I don't do rain well but the cold is not a problem down to about 35 deg. there are many days at work when mine is the only bike in the lot.

170 mi per week to work avg'ing 25 mpg in my 94' Toyota xtra cab 4cyl. Thats 6.8 gallons @ 2.85 which = roughly 20 bucks per week. I'd say with side trips and this and that over a monthly period I'm spending 100 bucks on gas per month. IMO, not bad at all compared to those that drive bigger cars and trucks.
I really want the new Tundra super crew bad. But with gas and new truck prices the way they are...................NO THANKS. Oh well, my 94' Yota has 169k miles, runs, drives and interior is still like new thanks to tinted windows. I think I'll keep it till it dies. Hell, I'll probably die before that Yota does.

About $100 per week in my Chevy Express 1500 service van. I have to drive all over southern Indiana and into northern Kentucky most days to take care of my customers. Using the bike is out of the question due to all the stuff I need to have available to me all the time.
Besides, it would look kind of weird to see a server or a couple of PCs strapped to the back of my Road Glide.

the car? somewhere around a gallon of gas a week now that im getting stuff for the house, so thats about 4 gallons a month at $3.50 or so.. so around $14. i fill up every other month or so. i might drive it more, but it only gets 28MPG, and i dont need that kind of waste.
the bike is a different story, of course.
