> $1000 in gas on a car I barely ever drive

I wouldn't call $20 a week in gas "barely driving".

It’s a little below average

“ The average US resident drives 13,476 miles per year and spends about $1,262 on gasoline.”

But that’s immaterial.

If that’s 10,000 miles a year at an average of 20mph that’s 500 hours driving and 8,200 not driving - over 90% of the time the car is idle. I.e “hardly being used”
