When I first bought my car back in April I never let it dip below half a tank. Since I moved in September, I usually wait until it's below a quarter before filling up. Last week I let it run down to about an eighth, and it took a hair over 14 gallons to fill it up completely which means it has a 16 gallon tank, more or less. When I got it, I lived in an area dominated by highways; I would regularly get it up to 60 mph going to a from work, and it got decent gas mileage at 30 per gallon. Now that I live in a dense city with stop lights every 10 feet, I'm lucky to get 20. On the dashboard above the radio is a little LCD screen that tells me my fuel economy and how many miles I have left until I run empty. I've been tracking those figures against my odometer since mid-May, and it's not good.

When I got it, I would regularly outperform expectations. Say I drove 100 miles, the fuel range indicator would only go down 90, meaning I traveled 10 miles further than it said I should based on the amount of fuel I used. This slowly crept down, 10 miles better, 7 miles, 5, 3, for a while it was dead even, but since July I've been in the read. I'll drive 100 miles, and the fuel range meter will go down 120 or 130. Doing the math, driven distance over fuel range decrease, my best performance was 120% efficient, and the worst was 65%. Think about that. 65%, less than two-thirds, which means for every 100 miles I drive my fuel tank thinks I'm driving over 150! I'm burning through it like it's nothing!

I don't know what kind of math is going down under the hood, but my maximum fuel range has been dropping too. In April, a full tank of gas could supposedly get me 396 miles; more than that, actually, given my net positive fuel efficiency. Filling it up last week, same tank, same 16 gallons, it's telling me I can only get 323 miles. 396 miles on 16 gallons, the computer thought I was getting 24.75 miles per gallon regardless of how good it actually was. 323 miles is 20.1875 mpg; the indicator regularly dips below 20 when I'm stuck in traffic, and I can actually watch it tick down in increments of 0.1 when I'm at particularly congested redlights.

Sooner or later, it's going to get to the point where I'm less than half efficient. I'll drive 100 miles, and it'll use the fuel for 200 or more. I'll be lucky to get 250 miles on a full tank, which at present time would cost me $50 to fill from empty. Gas prices were higher this summer, $3.80-ish, got down to just below $3.00 even in October, right now they're hovering around $3.20 - $3.30, and as we enter the presidential election I can see it exploding up to $4.00 or more again, over $60 for a full tank.

My car's a 2007 with 132,000 miles on it, so I guess this sort of degradation is to be expected, but it means that it's going to crap out on me in a couple of years. Once I start my new job I'll have to build back up my savings so I can buy something halfway decent. It took me a year and a half to save up $10,000 when I lived with my parents, but now I'm out on my own and have rent and medical bills (I make so little money that I get a tax credit from the IRS that completely covers my insurance, but it's the cheapest plan on the market with next to no coverage, so every doctor visit is astronomical), so I expect to be stuck with my clunker until 2025 at the earliest. I just hope it'll last that long.
