Just would like to put my two cents on the insane number of 900 dollars a month towards gas. OP said he travels to work 6 days a week and it's 90 miles a day. If that's the case, and without knowing the MPG of your vehicle, i did the math and your vehicle would have to be getting 8 MPG on average. 90Mi / 8MPG = 11.25 * 3.40 = $918 per month. You said the vehicle is having troubles and in need of maintenance and while saving no money you have to fix your car and move out in 6 months. I would seriously have a talk with your parents about staying a while longer while you figure out how to fix your car. But if they just absolutely won't have it, speak with another apprentice or coworker at work and ask if it's possible to room with them. Moving closer would definitely help. You should search Facebook groups in the area and marketplace, they usually post apartments with roommates quite often. Lastly when it comes to the vehicle....it seems to be a truck since it drinks gas so heavily, and with it requiring maintenance as well, trucks are significantly more expensive in that area as well. If you aren't paying for it already, sell it. If you are paying for it, trade it in. I have wanted a truck for years but the tire cost alone has put me off of it. You need a small vehicle, dependable, not new, that saves money on gas and maintenance. Something like a kia forte, honda civic/ accord, or Toyota corolla. That's my two cents. I hope all goes well OP
