I think I've filled up 2 or 3 times this year, but it'll be less frequent in the months to come. It's usually only 10 gallons/fill-up.

I'm constantly having too buy more inner tubes, bike lube, Gatorade ect...I even have to pay for more food. My car get about 32mpg. I enjoy biking but I don't think it's as cheap as some of you make it out to be.
You can buy 10 bikes for the price of one car.
Though I agree running costs of biking aren't quite as cheap as some might suspect. Extra clothes to wash = more detergent to buy + more energy to run washing machine. And yes, extra calories to eat if you're burning them (this is a huge plus for me though as I love food). Although I do think as you become a more experienced rider you don't get anywhere near as many flats. /self-JINX
