I can believe it. When gas prices were high, I was spending close to $80 a week on gas and my car is a Honda Accord that gets 28mpg on average in the city. Someone that commutes using an SUV or Pickup could absolutely hit $500 a month out here.
Mind me asking where you live?
Also, why $80 a week? Let's say gas was $5 per gallon when gas prices were high. At 28 mpg on average, you would have had to have been driving 448 miles every single week to spend $80 in gas a week. That's a lot of miles. That's pretty much a round trip of NYC to Washington, DC. Even if we bump it up to $10 per gallon, at 28 mpg, that's still 224 miles a week. That just seems like an excessive amount of driving per week, from my perspective, and is more of a lifestyle choice, I believe.
