From my bank statements:

2005 $1450
06 $1145
07 $1050
08 $970 92 Accord -> 98 Civic
09 $700
10 $590
11 $730 with motorcycle
12 $470 (through August)

I drive 125 mi/wk to work, and mostly just park the car on the weekends. There were a few work related 1k mi trips in 08 and 09. Includes a truck used for renovations mainly in 2007-8. Got the bike in 2011, 83 BMW R80, used as occasional commuter and pleasure rider (2500 mi) though it actually gets worse mileage (33-36) than the car (37-41).

Looks like it's taken me 6 years to spend $4500 on fuel. I can't even imagine $4k/yr. It would be nice to have a garage though, but, no space on these old narrow city lots.
