how much does the average college student spend on gas?
473141
Depends on where you live, and how far from campus you live. I live 15 miles from my school and thus it is impossible to walk. Currently, I'm spending between $80-$90 a month. However, gas is only about $2.75 at the moment.

It depends on if you're living on campus, at home, or commuting and not living at home.\n\nThe cost would range from about $44,000 down to $36,000, including room and board.\n\nDetails and prices are at http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=988&profileId=2

Save them.  I have actually used about 200 to get a gallon of gas before.  Of course, that was ages ago : )

I drew my line at $2.00... I've already bought a motorcycle that gets 55 MPG and I ride it whenever I can (especially good for the 45 mile commute I have to make everyday... which I carpool for on days that aren't good for the bike ride)... other than that, I just try to get all my errands for the week done in one or two trips so I'm not out burning up gas all the time.

My gas bill for the house went from $50.00 to $200.00 within 1month!!! I was so upset, but it is because the weather here dose not know what its gonna do from 1 day to the next. I have 2 kids plus my nephew and husband here...so thats a lot. The gas for our cars cost around $2.30 per gallon. Your gas company should have a payment plan for those who cant pay their bills all at once. An income based plan. Check it out.

I get $150 a month to spend because that's how my scholarships pan out. My parents pay for my gas and school supplies/books, and I have  a meal plan.

This is a fair point, and I actually did this problem in a class at some point.  The bottom line is that any cost difference is going to be very small, but there can indeed be some difference.  And as the previous poster pointed out, the gas is stored in a well-insulated, underground environment, which makes any differences even more negligible.\n\nThe difference can be more pronouced if a tanker truck fills up in a 90 deg F area, drives all day and delivers to a 40 deg area.  Here, there is enough of a volume change to be noticeable.

Not really. The higher the price of gas, the more reasonable alternatives become for the average guy. And there are ways...\n\nIt costs all of about $6000 to convert a gas guzzler into a nice clean electric car that gets about 50 miles to a charge. Add one of the many free energy devices that are being explored AND DOCUMENTED ONLINE, and you get electric cars that cost NOTHING to drive, other than insurance, registration, and maintenance. \n\nThen we can smile as we drive by those expensive dinosaur juice dispensaries!

Gas was five U.S. dollars a gallon in 1997. Most people hand roll their own cigarettes because they can't afford prepacked/rolled. A thousand dollars a month rent and up is normative for an apartment almost anywhere in Europe. Yes, it's expensive alright.

18, Cars.  I would prefer a SUV due to my height but I can't afford the gas.

A) Gasoline costs $2.02 for 1 gallon. We want to know how much 12 gallons of gasoline costs.\nx = cost of 12 gallons of gasoline\nx / 12 gallons = $2.02 / 1 gallon --- Cross-multiply...\n(1)(x) = (12)($2.02) --- Multiply...\nx = $24.24\nANSWER: The cost of 12 gallons of gasoline is $24.24 when one gallon of gasoline costs $2.02.\n\nB) Mr. Jones starts with $2,589.36 in his checking account. He writes checks for $689.00, $107.25, and $23.69. We want to know the remaining balance in his account.\nx = amount remaining in Mr. Jones' account\nx + $689.00 + $107.25 + $27.69 = $2,589.36 --- Combine the dollar amounts on the left side...\nx + $823.94 = $2,589.36 --- Subtract $823.94 from each side...\nx = $1,765.42\nANSWER: Mr. Jones has $1,765.42 remaining in his checking account.\n\nC) A 12 oz. can of soda costs (assuming you meant) $0.65. We want to know the cost of 1 ounce of soda.\nx = cost of 1 oz. of soda\nx / 1 oz = $0.65 / 12 oz --- Cross-multiply...\n12x = $0.65 --- Divide both sides by 12...\nx ≈ $0.05\nANSWER: An ounce of soda costs $0.05 when 12 ounces of soda costs $0.65.\n**Note: If you really meant that the soda cost $65.00 instead of 65 cents, then the price for an ounce of soda is $5.42 instead of a nickel.

The best solution... Coffee!  The gasoline of all college students.  Or far stronger and more expensive is Red Bull.\n\nTip: In many college classrooms, regardless of the no drinking policy, you can usually eat and drink in there, just don't spill or leave the garbage on the floor.\n\nAlso, the best thing to do is to always get eight hours of sleep, because one of my professors said, "you sleep, you will be doing pushups!"

I paid for all my stuff and I can tell you, you will in the long run, be more responsible for taking on an adult role.\n\nAs a college student, you qualify for a lot of breaks as well, so don't be shy to ask if they offer college student discounts.\n\nI joined a lot of great websites that offered free stuff.\n\nIn January, MAC was giving away free iPods to college students who purchased the new MAC books.\n\nYou only have to budget about $700 for your expensenses, so that's not bad actually.\n\nMost part time jobs can actually let you get about $1000 a month on part time hours.\n\nI used a lot of coupons and lived off certain things off the 99 cent store. (Did you know that 99 cent only stores buy overstock? )\n\nMy grocery consisted of \n1. bread\n2. mayo\n3. milk\n4. deli meat\n5. eggs\n6. orange juice\n7. water was bought buuy the gallon for 50 cents\n8. laundry detergent\n9. shampoo/conditioner\n10. bare neccessities\n\nIf you still live at home, I would stock up on toiletries and non-perishable food, and laundry detergent. Buy things you need way BEFORE you move, so you can be cool for a few months without restocking.\n\nIf you make about $700 a month, you can survive.\n\nAsk your college about student resources as well.\n\nIf you can get student housing where you can be the residential advisor and live rent free.
