i travel 250 miles back in forth to work

from a full tank at the end of the day i have alittle under half tank

my rugged trails r balding and i got a quote for new tires 101 dollars a tire...what else can i do to make these rides cheaper as far as gas

i drive 75 mph cruise all the way to work and back i cant drive any slower or itll take me forever to get there

what are some tips u guys can give me

 

Prious!!! lol..... sounds like you are S.O.L.

 

wow half tank at 250 mi? You're blowing me away, I barely break 320 before the light's on. 101 a tire isn't bad, my bfg AT KO's were 188 a tire...

Sounds like you should get a eco car for commute :/

 

wow thats far, get a closer job or a motorcycle

 

haha i wanna buy a POS car but no money honeys jk but seriously no money

thats not bad the milage im getting but new tires will work theyre not AT theyre just good tires economically speaking

i need a truck since i do construction...

under 2rpm...65 is pushing it on my truck

is there a big difference between 75 and 70?

 

I like that idea!!!

 

yeah a tool bag and a shovel on a motorcycle

 

youll be surprised! like hodgy said, if u keep it under 2k you can get 22mpg

 

Motorcycle!!!!

 

So you travel 250 miles a day to go to a job and you're still poor? I hope you like the work - a lot. If I was to commute over 100 miles to get to my job it would have to be some great, very well paid work.

Motorbike is your best bet, failing that - new job.

 

just sayin.....and I barely crack 300 miles to a tank.

I'll take that any day over 1250 miles per week.
I guess that's why my truck only has 21,900 on it after 2 years and 3 months.

 

You should move closer to work.

 

ur right i was wrong...i did it on the way back home i saw a difference

 

well the pays really good but im barely getting my 2nd check next friday

 

thats really good...too bad i have 55 k after 4 years

 

work is at different sites i live in san diego and im working in riverside...so i should move to riverside? then when im sent back to san diego i should move again? i think not buddy

 

If the job lasts a decent amount of time, then it would probably be alot cheaper to find a place closer to where you are working. Not to mention the wear and tear on your truck. I know they're supposed to last a long time, but, man, that's alot of miles every day.

Or get a shell and camp out and go home on weekends. Just a thought.

 

i cant do hotels personal issues...

plus im at sites for like a week then im thrown around everywhere we're a concrete crew so we just come and pour and finish
