My new used car only gets about 20mpg but it has a huge tank and I only have to fill up once every two weeks. Given same driving habits and accounting for tank size, I seem to use less gas than my last car which supposedly has better gas mileage. It is the first time I have had to use premium gas so I am wondering if the type of gas is a contributing factor. Ok that is unrelated to the question I asked but anyway...
Now I wish I did a poll...too late though...I am on my cell.

I fill up every 5 days with Super Unleaded w/ Ethanol.
I accidentally used Unleaded (no Ethanol) a couple weeks ago and only got 1 mpg better gas mileage, so for the price increase, wasn't worth it. -
I fill up twice a month. I think the tank is 13 or 14 gallons. I only use premium because my car requires it. My husband insists on only using the higher octane premium (it varies some from place to place--the number is on the pump). He insists it makes a difference. I try to buy it at Costco since theirs is about 30 cents cheaper in my area, and they have the higher octane too.

@Iced Tea: That's where I get my premium gas too! Just like regular price outside of CostcoWorld. I think my tank is like 18 gallons!

I fill up 2-3 times a month. I use 87. DH fills up almost every time he has a 24 hour shift because it's 120 miles one way and that commuter car tank is only 10 gallons.
-
I fill up 2x a week normally, with a 15 gallon tank. I use Regular Unleaded, whatever the cheapest is.

We fill up 1x a week with regular unleaded. We drive about 30 miles a day 5 days a week with one 60+ mile day going to church on Sunday.
-
I usually only fill up once every 3-4 weeks--we live right downtown and both DH and I are public transit commuters, so the car only gets used 2-3 times a week for errands in our neighborhood. We use 87 octane in our car (which is the middle-grade here, but lots of places its the lowest). We have a 15-gallon tank in our jetta. It is our only car.

I think I only fill up about once a month; I only take my car to/from work and it's only 20 minutes each way, local.
-
I think I fill up at least once a month and maybe twice towards the end of the month.
No on premium gas. I decided to buy a car that didn't need it.
-
I fill up once a week with regular gas. I have a 12 gallon tank.
I drive 25 miles one way in rush hour five days a week though. Considering that, I do pretty well mileage wise.
-
I usually put 10-10.5 gallons in mine (not sure what the actual size is) roughly 1x a week.
