I know many are OCD about their gas mileage on this site. So, how many litres or gallons of gasoline did you burn in 2009?

I'll start:

Expedition: 5,500 litres of gasoline. 1,453 gallons.
 
I am not that anal, not yet. I do drive a lot for work but cutting back with car pooling, which is horrible because I have two elitist asshairs to share ride with. But I have 120 dollars a month so that is something. It also get me to come to work early enough so I am ok. Another plus is that I put less miles on my Honda, which helps postpone the timing belt/water pump replacement. I've been quoted 1275 dollars by an indy shop near the base. And that is in the middle of no where town called King George in VA. I hate small towns and their high prices.
 
Well, i drive about 5-600km a week, and can spend a $100 a week easy. I drive a little bit spirited and always watch the L/100km gauge. 12.5 L/100km is avg for city. And 9 is for highway.
HP is a real gas burner in the city of stop and go traffic!
 
May 07 - Dec 07: 1,290 L

Jan 08 - Dec 08: 1,723 L

Jan 09 - Dec 09: 1,563 L

Jan 10 - date: 502 L
 
No idea how much total, all I know is, I do follow my consumption per tank and track to see if there's something I can change/make better, etc.
 
Can't be too concerned as I drive a v8 mustang, but I have noticed poor(er) gas mileage as of late. Does it have anything to do with the "summer" fuel mix?
 
Turbodiesel Navara - 1,000 litres (within a couple of percent tops).
E30 - 600 litres (within about 10 percent)

Bit over $2 grand in fuel costs.

209 gallons on a Lexus LS400
 
I've never tracked my fuel usage or MPG. Not a big deal to me. Not that I'm against saving fuel, just that my commute is so short.

On average my fuel cost about 200 a month my wife and I combined, and at $3.2 a gal, it is about 66 gal a month, 792 gal a year.

A few years ago when I worked 60 miles from home and go down from Nor Cal to So Cal to see my wife (then girl friend), I drove about 60k miles a year, and at 30mpg, I myself only, used about 2000 gal a year, adding her would make it close to 2500-3000 gal a year.

I was carpooling and driving others around, and the money I got is proportional to gas price and enough to cover all of it, so it wasn't a problem.

I usually put on about 25,000 miles a year and my truck averages about 13 mpg, so over the course of a year 1800-2000 gallons. Last year alone though in addition to my normal commute, about 10,000 of those miles were for work, got reimbursed for most of it, heck this year I'm already at 8,000 for work.
