OPEC are a bunch of scum.

Gas prices are starting to really hurt me.
I drive an easy 3000 miles a month for work. It's getting to the point where I cannot afford gas.

SUV. 30 gallon tank, 2 bucks a gallon. 15 gallons is 30 bucks. 60 to fill. 14 miles to the gallon. Bout a tank a week.

Heh. No one forced you to buy that thing. You'll get no sympathy from me either!

Its spiked a lot here as well...but in the end I'm not really out much more. I just hope it doesn't force the price of other consumer goods up.

You drive a worthless land-yacht. You'll get no sympathy from me. =)

Oh, ranging from $2.07 at Costco to $2.19 at Chevron in Phoenix.

I dont want your sympathy.
Just a small donation to keep the Battlecruiser fueled is all 😉

The only one that deserves sympathy: Mercedes Benz G55 AMG

hey two of my friends mom's have that! They enjoy taking it to soccer games and picking up their kids from school

still in the $1.70-.80 mark here in Jersey 😀

costs me $20 to go from totally empty to full.

i better start driving to jersey to get gas. but it makes no sense since i have to pay $3 for the toll.
a lot of ppl i know go there. i tell them about the toll charge but it seems to go over their head.
even the news vouches about jersey's gas, but people don't realize if you're trying to save $3-$5 you still have to pay to get over the bridge!

I drive a 1995 Geo Prizm. When it's close to empty, it takes 10 gallons to fill up. According to the factory service manual, it's a 12.5 gallon tank. So it's not out of the question for your car to have an 18 or even 20 gallon take.
 
87 (Regular Unleaded) costs ~$1.80 out here in Atlanta.

My Miata typically needs around ~8.5 gallons...so that comes out to about $15 per week for fuel...good for around 300-350 miles.

Edit: I can do circles around SUVs in rush-hour traffic 😛
 
Not sure about price since I don't have to fill the car up very often, but considering it gets 350 to 370 miles per tank, I can say my 91 accord with a 17 gallon tank is just sipping on gas through something probably the size of a straw 😛

True, but then SUVs don't need to do circles around Miatas in rush-hour traffic as they can run right over them while the driver thinks "did I just hit a pop can?".
