I just paid $50.35 to fill up the beast.

WTF 2.65 a gallon

Nghtstlkr7

yeah, i paid 40 the other day. this is nuts. one of the reasons why i left california was b/c gas was too expensive... its like the prices followed me. i hate this ****... its tough on the budget

turboR1

yea I know...makes me want to drive a moped.... imagine if you have a truck.... the 50.35 would last two days for me.... oouch.

Nghtstlkr7, I'm sorry, but you straight up lucked out. We have crazy emissions guys (not as bad as Cali, but similar), we have crazy traffic WORSE than Cali, we have crazy gas prices (similar to Cali), and we have crazy real estate prices like Cali. You pretty much escaped to the wrong area

Damn son. Where'd you fill up at? Sounds like it's time to get the 4% off Sunoco Gas Mastercard I have it, and they apply the rebate EVERY month... I've gotten $190 back from them so far!

Get an American Express Card with 5% cah back. This yearalone, they gave me almost four hunders dollars. Not bad??

I saw 2.75/gallon in Glen Echo on my way to work.

Sure glad I bought that Prius. Pat, you better sell those seats to me and buy a hybrid instead :-)

patfat

LOL! Yeah fritz told me you wanted the seats...sorry buddy

I did sell the Audi, but I didn't get a hybrid.

gingenhagen

well, it's more than twice as expensive in england.

Yeah, I just paid 2.89 on Tuesday...Decided to be off boost as much as possible. It took 36.50 to fill up and even then it was about 12 gallons.

Gas prices are crazy now.. But as far as our traffic is concerned, its def not as bad as LA rush hour traffic.

filled up on sunoco 94 today, came to almost 50 bucks.

the company car saves me tons of cash, as I don't drive the FD daily......

I had one of those...it's not really 5%. It's 2% on purchases at small independent stores (not chains), 2% in interest generated, and 1% on everything else. That blows IMO. I pay my card in full at the end of every month (there goes 2%) and almost never shop at small independent shops (down another 2%). And the fact that sooo many places don't accept Amex, well...it wasn't worth the hassle for 1% cash back.

Universal Card (from AT&T) gives 3% cash back on EVERYTHING (gas, grocieries, bills, etc etc) which is what I use for every day purchases. For gas, I stick w/ the Sunoco card, because it's 4% back EVERY month, including purchases at the Sunoco quicky-marts.

It takes about $80 to fill my V-10 Excursion. Ask me if I care about your measly $50 bill. Ha.

Do you care about his measly $50 bill?

yea gas is a killer over here i wonder how bad it is in other area's like a comparison, today its like 2.49 for 93 at this gas station down the road thats lowwwww.. i just attempt to stay off the boost.. but its addicting.

SlingShotRX7

Hey I feel the pinch of gas. and I own a gas station.

Wife doesn't seem to care much about how much gas she burns
in the Cherokee.
