I paid $32.67 today to fill my tank up. Granted, it was 17.4 gallons of a 20 gallon tank, and I get only Premium (Patrick must nurture the 307), but still, quit yer whinin'.

I don't think I've paid $10.00 for a fill-up in five years.

 

The war hasn't really had much effect on gas prices so far. Most stations around here have actually lowered their prices a few cents per gallon since the war began. Also, the price of crude oil has fallen about $8 a barrel in the last two months, so the prices should fall once that oil is refined and makes it way into production.

 

Iraq isn't the problem here, but getting Venezuela back up and running would be nice.

Ten Dollars? Don't you live outside of DC, Tom? And what kind of car do you drive?I know gas isn't that cheap in VA, at least not in Hampton Roads.

I would LOVE to pay only $18 for a full tank of gas. $30 is the usual for me, 2-3 times a month.

this is like starting a thread bitching about how you have to get up at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Eric, if I had the money I'd seriously consider getting a Hybrid. I have wondered, though, if the electric bill makes up for what you would save in gas.

God, I'm glad I don't have a car here at school. I'd have been broke months ago.

$2.22 a gallon for premium. And I don't want to be a dick and tell my friends that they need to throw down for some gas money. I thought having a car was your ticket to freedom?

I paid something like $26.82 for 17 gallons or so today. At $1.65 a gallon, it was the cheapest stuff around my house.

Actually, I'm a lot closer to Baltimore than I am to DC.

 

What I said was that I *haven't* paid $10 for a fill-up in at least five years, meaning they've all cost more than that. Back when I drove a Neon and the 87 octane gas was around a buck a gallon, it was all good in the hood. I currently drive a Maxima SE, and the premium gas around here runs around $1.75 a gallon, so my fillups tend to be $20-25.

If I get that job at Dillards tomorrow, I'll be pulling in $9 an hour, so gas prices won't worry me nearly as much as they did.

Hey, when you were a bagger at a grocery store and the highest you got was $6.70 after over two years, you consider starting as a menswear salesman at $9 a big deal.

Here gas is approximately $2.08 for the cheapest grade. (Sacramento, CA).

 

$10 used to fill up my tank even if rode in on fumes.

Hmmm, we seem to have the same taste in cars, Tom, except mine were probably older than the models you drove/drive around...

 

Regular costs $1.82 on base, which is about as cheap as you're going to get anywhere in HI.

I say that America invents it's own source of energy, and tht we share it with no one. :angry:

I'm not sure if you were joking or not but...

 

The Toyota Prius charges the battery when running on gas. I'm not sure about Honda's hybrid cars.
