Filled up last night, 60 something. I think gas was $2.74 but I can't remember. It's funny I notice gas prices while driving but when I fill up I just stop at the gas station and fill up no matter what the price.

I remember when the prices hiked up a few years ago one station had super unleaded for 20 cents cheaper, yes I said cheaper, than regular unleaded. There was a serious problem with the pump and it took about 30 minutes to fill your tank with gas. The owner said it was cheaper to do this rather than pay to pump all the fuel out then get the tank fixed then to fill the tank back up again.

Correction, it was $2.84 a gallon for mid grade. Here's something else I found a few years ago: http://www.gasbuddy.com/

No it's gone and over. Oh, and to make matters better, they didn't have the "autopilot" pumps, you had to hold the valve open for 30 minutes.

I would have takenoff of workand filled up every gas container I own. The best I can get around here is on Tuesdays one gas station sells their premium for the price of mid grade

If it gets anywhere near 3.75 a gallon I'm selling my truck....Just a money hole for a kid just starting out college. At least I won't be driving first semester (maybe even second) depends what dad has to say about it. Gas is just insane.

well, we are in a court settlement right now. so when we get the money, we can afford to keep up with the gas prices. but still, thats just "insane" as max00racer put it.

I find it (not so) funny that I drive my Mach1 (it requires 91 or better) instead of the Ramto save money on fuel...

wow! well, at least we're not in europe, right guys? im gonna have to fill up tomorrow morning... im estimating about $75+
Please tell me that you did not mean to say that Canada is in Europe, please. Because I swear, my kids are not going to Ohio State if that is the case.

I put $35, because they are rationing gas down here, $2.89 for regular 12.07 gallons.

I wish my dad had friends in the oil industry, that way when I out of my job I would not worry about money and live in a ranch somewhere in Texas.
