What is your fuel expense to JV? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

JR · 11-19-2007, 08:37 PM

It's going to be high this year.
Last year it was $110 round trip for the toe rig and $80 for the rig.

I figure if we bitch about it now, it won't be so bad when we have to fill up!

Beat95YJ · 11-19-2007, 08:51 PM

About $200 roundtrip. Taking the scenic route over t-day though.

Pook · 11-19-2007, 09:01 PM

$1100 roundtrip in the old gas pig towing last year.

With the new diesel I'm hoping $6-700

Wish I lived closer...

anyone have work for a fabricator, blacksmith or industrial electrician.

jefe · 11-19-2007, 09:38 PM

If I come down I-5 or 99 (and not 395) through Bakerspatch, Tejon, Gorman on to Hwy 38, I figure its $750 round trip. OO-EE that hurts. It was a lot cheaper when I lived in So Cal, not No Cal.

glenns89 · 11-19-2007, 10:02 PM

for me it is about $60 for the tow rig. but I fill up for about $100 and I always fillup before going. when I bring the Jimmy out I spend about $100 for the weekend on just that. Not too bad.I am only 100 miles from the hammers.

megatoy66 · 11-19-2007, 10:57 PM

I left yesterday from Tacoma, Wa. picked up a jeep cherokee, hauled it to Las Vegas for a customer, it paid $$$$$. Going to pick up my buggy in Fresno tommorow, going to the hammers til' sunday then hauling a hendrix chassis north strapped to my buggy, it pays $$$.
My fuel, rooms, food and entire trip is paid for and then some.

jpfrk2001 · 11-19-2007, 11:09 PM

coming from barstow will cost me $50 for round trip. thats my tow rig and my jeep for the time out there

Dusty · 11-20-2007, 12:16 AM

Ten bucks if I leave from work

Have fun out there guys. I was gonna go up to Panamint for T-day but other issues have me staying home this year.

newimage · 11-20-2007, 02:57 AM

Live in Ventura County I figure $150.00 dollars in Gasolina round trip but the visit to Costco for all the extra STUFF $350.00 but to be with family and fellow 4 wheelers PRICELESS

Scott@Rockstomper · 11-20-2007, 05:49 AM

Close to $1k in diesel, and $150ish in gas if I get to play as much as I'd like after spending that much getting there.

Jes · 11-20-2007, 06:41 AM

$300 diesel.
$75 Gas.

Mustard Dog · 11-20-2007, 07:55 AM

Just occurred to me... I spent less $$ in 2-1/2 weeks in Europe, including roundtrip airfare for two, a few years back, than I did in four trips to the west coast last year.

Don't tell my wife.

RE:Todd · 11-20-2007, 07:57 PM

55 gallons of diesel and 20 gallons of gas

rsqne1 · 11-20-2007, 08:10 PM

$100 in Diesel (Roundtrip) and abot $30 in Gas...I just don't look at the pump anymore!!!

socalchef · 11-20-2007, 08:31 PM

I guess I don't have it so bad, about $75 in diesel and maybe $30-40 in gas. Just starting to use propane so not sure of my expense on that yet. It's a fuel, right?
