Whats everyone spend on fuel to CRH per year?

What's everyone spend on fuel to CRH per year?

Though it would be fun and interesting to see what everyone spends on gas to CRH per year. Here is a graph of the US average gas price for the past 12 months. With an average price of $3.57 per gallon.

If I just stick with my "normal" dump and pickups my round trip mileage is about 24. My truck gets 15 mpg. @ $3.57 per gallon I spend $5.71 per week and my yearly total is $297.00. That would be my minimum since I do a few crh trips now and then but most of the banks I hit are within a few miles of one another and I try to also do any errands in the area to save some cash. I know this is just an average but you can get some idea how much is spent.
Feel free to add yours.

I break even.

Between $1200 and $1500/yr. Mostly all for dumping.

yeah, my truck gets 14 mpg, i probrably spend more on gas than the silver I bring in, then you got to tack on coin machine shortages on top of that, i am really losing money... but this isn't a job, it's a hobby.

not much, I live in a big city so going to and from work I pass multiple branches.

Probably $400 a year extra............. it keeps me outa trouble though, gives me something to do.

Whatever it takes to stop the itch. HH

I don't watch my gas mileage at all. It is a hobby so the gas doesn't concern me, and makes all the silver i find feel more like a prize instead of trying to pay my gas bills.

Driving, especially one ways more than 15 miles, kill my CRHing mood.

I spend "several hundred" on fuel for the Hyundia, and I sometime get starbutts coffee. I count that against my CRHing totals

$0. I am one of the lucky ones that has my company pay for gas, and normally the banks are en route to what I have to do for work.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

75 miles a week, $3.50 a gallon, 14 mpg... 1/2 oz of silver on a good week, I am paying more for gas than the silver i bring in.
I went on a 125 mile road trip(round trip) last week and literally broke even with the Ag I found.

 

[Infowarrior]

Im not really sure, like others said, its a hobby and dont really concern with it, although I know im not loosing out...

I did start a new route for this coming week, and checked mileage and everything, but if I keep with my current silver finds, I wont be losing out on gas money...

I got about 22-24 boxes lined up... gonna be a busy week

 

[thripp]

I average about $25 per week... my vehicle is not fuel efficient and I average about 110 miles per week. But I don't lose money like some of you guys!

Not a factor for me.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

same.

Not a factor for me.

I just hit my local bank on the way home from school.. They usually close at 3:00 I get back from my welding class at 2:55 It's then a race to get there before they close. + It's on my way home so I don't spend anything more then I should on gas.

Thanks for all the posts. I'm with most of you on this. It's a hobby and love doing it. I can't say that if I wasn't finding much Ag that I would continue to do it every week, but would still do it here and there. Over the long haul gas could become a factor unless you have some deep pockets or at least you are getting some coin with some value. I just don't like to lose hard earned money, period. For me the small amount of fuel spent each week is really minimal to the amount of keepers I am able to stack away. I can only think of 2 weeks in the past yr. that I was completely skunked on Ag. What other hobby is out there that makes you money and have fun doing it all at the same time. When I figured my fuel cost I was shocked that it was as low as it was, seems like the gas gauge goes down fast these days!

I do ok as I drive a hybrid and get 45mpg+. Also do most of my dumps and pickups on way home from work.

It's a hobby though. Would have to do HUGE volume to actually make enough to live on.

 

[fixxxer9]

I drive for work and I get paid .55 cents a mile. I pick up and drop off on my way to appointments so I actually get paid to crh during the week.

I set my trip odometer 3weeks ago, 1100 miles has logged on it so far, ( I used the wifes mini van 17-18 miles a gallon) lets say for around town and stuff we take off a 100 miles,thrill of the hunt for me and trying new areas. I would say i probably drive more than most to do this hobby, but still stay under the cost of just buying Silver outright by the end of the year. HH, Maverick.
