I know the feeling buying gas for my Trailblazer is now a huge budgeting ordeal!

My husband's truck takes over $80 to fill. I get off easy-my Blazer "only" takes about $45-$50.

We've been paying $45-50 for awhile now per vehicle. Thank goodness that my hubby works local (within 10 miles) and that I carpool with another person. We couldn't afford to leave the house otherwise!

I have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan and stopped at 50 bucks cause I was getting sick to my stomach. I ALMOST filled it up.

Ick.

I think we should go back to horses.

Good thing we don't have to pump Starbucks frappucino into the tank. That would be like $32/gallon?!!

If I get my gas when I'm near 1/2 tank...it'll be somewhere near $24...I drive a sentra. I feel badly for you SUV people. That would do major damage to me, lol.

It isn't that I have an issue with prices increasing, everything goes up over time. My gripe is with the fluctuating prices. I can't stand to see $2.93 day one, 2.97 day two, back to 2.93 ...etc. Why can't we have a standard price...I know unrealistic, but it just feels like someone toying with prices. *scream*

Thanks for starting this topic...I needed to get this out :)

here it's $3.39 a gallon of regular. my dad drives a gold 2005 ford ranger and it cost about $50.00 to fill up. and my mom has a black 2007 Honda CRV and it takes her about $40.00 to fill up. and they both fill up about 2 times a week.

my mom is letting me use her gold 2001 pontiac grand Am and it takes me about $30.00 to fill up

I dont know how well this will work but alot of people are trying to boycot it. sence we all need gas we cant just stop buying it.
So on the 15 of everyone month alot of people are not buying gas untill the prices go down. If no one bought gas for one day tey would probly lose a ton of money.

agin no one knows how well it will work or how many people will go with it but its worth a shot

The gas stations make a ton more money on the pop and chips. The gas is just a ploy to get you to stop by...

Supply and demand. As long as we keep buying it, the price will go up. And also as long as we have nut balls like Hugo Chavez wanting to shove it to American oil companies, speculators will continue to raise prices even though oil has come down in price per barrel.

It will take more than just Americans boycotting. It will take the whole world.

Gas for a week=$60-80
Parking= $8 a day

I know what you mean. When I go out of town to fill the Explore is over a fifty dollar bill. I live 1.5 mile away from work so last year I bought this! http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o304/WileyBlaze/P1010001.jpg

It is so handy at work! I even let the customers use it when I have there car for the day and they love it.
I run the dogs with it, I take it to work, I get grocery's with it. I now only use my Explorer when going out of town.

My Polaris doesn't have a mileage gauge but it avg. 7-8 hours per a 6 gallon tank! It even has a cab for winter!

Gas is up to $3.24.9 here in Upper Michigan. Insane.

I have a Geo Metro - 3 cylinder. It's still under $30 to fill it and that lasts 300 to 400 miles, guess I won't be trading this one in any time, too soon.
