The Will I make it Thread

Girlfriend + Christmas = 0$ so the deal is I dont get any more money for 8 days and I normally fill up every 4-5 days So I have to go almost twice as long on this tank of gas. I normall get around 200 miles to a tank. I have to go to school 3 times this week, work 5 times and the gym 4 times.

From my house to school back home is 6.8 miles x3 = 20.4 miles
From my house to work and back is 16.5 miles x4 = 82 miles
From my house to the gym and back is 11.5 x4 = 44.9

That total is 147 miles
And I already have 20 miles on this tank so, 167 miles. Now that is driveing only when I HAVE to. No extra driving. So I would have about 30 miles left with my normal driving habits, but I will be driving slower than my grandpa at night in a big city

btw to my g/f house and back is about 16 more miles round trip

I could always ask my parents for my little allowance early to hold me off till i get my pay check, but that is embarrasing and they already do so much for me. I dont want to make them do any more, so the week long saga begins
