I am feeling the hurt.

The increases of the last month have meant an increase of 50$/mo in my gasoline bill.

Your poll choices are kinda the same...

(However, I voted for the one that started with "YES!")

"yes, they are killing me"
"no, they are killing me"
:confused:

No they aren't killing me, yes it hurts a little more to fill the tank, but it isn't killing me. But then, I'm only a college student so I don't drive around a huge amount...

look at the faces of SUV drivers make it worth the bill when I have to fill my tank.

It's $30/month for me. I only drive a couple times a week, and only fill up once a month. I take mass transit whenever I can.

It's around AUD$1.28 per liter here for the regular 91 OCT stuff, roughly US$0.70 for a liter. Actually it's similar to the US yer? Coz there's roughtly 4L to 1 US GAL right?

Right, but look at the difference in the distance you have to travel on a daily basis in your car as well as the types of cars available. They all impact how much gas is needed, I don't have numbers off hand but my guess would be that the US consumes quite a bit more.

I'm spending about $60 dollars more a month than I normally do. Annoying? Yes. Killing me? No.
