Fill 'Er Up!!! How much you pay for your last tank full of gas ?

$2.97 a gallon (93 octane) here in Greenville, SC. Gas light came on this morning, so I pulled in to the local Mobil to get 13.7x gallons of gas. Total cost - $40.79. Ouch!!!
Well, still hard to complain when you have the pleasure of driving an 8!!!

Filled up with BP 93 octane on Monday here in Louisville, KY.
Price/Gallon = $3.12 (Premium)
Gallons = 13.754
Total Cost = $42.90

It’s Kentucky Derby week here in town, so fuel prices are going up.
I saw regular for $3.11 this morning …that’s $3.31/Gallon for premium!

Read this about gas prices in Canada. Apparently, reserves in the US have been declining hence the increase in gas prices.

$3.19.9 a gallon in Vienna yesterday. Gotta bookmark gasbuddy.com!

Not really all that bad, though. Premium was $3.50 or $3.60 last summer when I bought Zoomy. And I'm saving a bundle not having to pay for roller coaster rides.

why would they need to, when they've got us to f8ck?

3.10 for Shell 93. ~$40 bucks per fillup. Worth every penny. There's something beautiful about enjoying the drive regardless of the destination.
