About $55. I fill up once roughly every 3 weeks. 4 mile total commute daily for work. I was driving a '79 K10 that got 7 miles to the gallon, driving ~25 miles one way. Had to fill that up every 2.5 days, if I ran the dual tanks it was 6 days before filling up. That was a pain in the ace. I was working just to afford gas money to get to work.
Thankfully its covered by work.
The last couple of tanks I've paid about $3.49/gal. I've been driving between 100 and 200 miles a day for the last several weeks because I've been playing a lot of out-of-town gigs so I've been filling up every day, usually between a half and a quarter tank and spending between $35 and $50 depending on how much I'm buying.

I fill my 00 2dr 4x4 when the tank gets to about half. Drive to work is about 30 miles 1 way with 80% at 65 mph. Had been costing me about $35-$40 about every 250 miles. However one of the local chain (Maverik) stations has come up with a deal that you can link to your debit card and get .06 off per gallon. So now it runs me about $27 -$32 every time. Getting about 18 -20 mpg. Blazer has about 208k on it and change oil every 4k at Walmart. (I get a employee discount).
A couple weeks ago, I was sent out to the job site at Arriba (about 25 miles east of Limon). From Colorado Springs, it was a 93 mile drive each way. I spent about $30 daily on the drive... we got $75/day per diem (on top of Davis Bacon wages), so I could've spent $75 on a motel or $30 to drive.
