Uhm.. in a week.. hard to tell, I think around 35 liters (9 US Gallons) in normal driving mode, 60 or more if trashing the car I guess (16 gallons)

Here fuel is around 1.34 Swiss francs / liter = 1 USD/liter

So in an average week I think I spend around 35 USD in fuel...
But I have to say I never really paid attention, so I'm only guessing

LOL!

Right now I pay $0 for gas. I don't have a car right now as I simply do not need one. Work is a mere 5 minute walk. I'll probably buy one soon, I miss driving.
So there ya go, I beat everyone! Even gis's econo machine!

Well, i could get a 3 cylinder Metro and maybe I would still beat ya!

Jabba, the only thing gis's car has over your Diablo is more room for more ladies! Although the caliber of the women you can get with a Diablo is probably much better! Not that you need it, you are a sexy bitch right Jabba? just kidding just kidding

I'm sure someone could photoshop some boobs on a pic of Jabba the hutt.
I'd do it, but I suck at it.
