What is your monthly gasoline bill?
Just going to work (not counting weekends):
Round trip to work is 100 miles a day and I average approximately 20mpg. I fill up every 1.32 days. Gas is currently $4.59/ga for regular or $87.21 to fill my 19 gallon tank. Per week, I'm spending $114.75. Per month I'm spending $459.
But this doesnt take into account any weekend driving, of which I do more of. Also, this does not take my wife's car into account. She has a 50 mile trip to/from work everyday, but her RL requires premium fuel and comes out to $244.50/mo.
When I purchased this car gas was at $3.59 and with my calculations, I'm spending $110 more per month in gas, or $1320 more per year.
I've tried numerous times to set up carpools and have investigated public transportation all to no avail.

i charged about $800 in gas last month but some of that was racing and driving to the track... that does not include what my wife paid also.
I would have to say that I drive on average 1000 a month to work and to the gym at lunch.... another 300-400 miles for the weekends so 1400 per month / 14mpg (average of my trailblazer and vette) = 100 gallons a month x 4.20ish for premium = $420 minimum.
we usually go somewhere at least 1 time a month to visit relatives, etc... so that is a 500 mile roundtrip to toss in there as well...

I get about 400 miles to the tank in my subbie and it take about $55 to fill the tank. I drive about 1000 miles a month so about $140 for that. The MR2 I drive sparingly so $50 a month in gas sounds about right.
$190 a month.... sweet
