Exclamation $60.12
is what paid at the pump tonight to fill up my FDs tank. I'm glad work is so close to home or else I'd be looking at a fill up every 2.5-3 days. Its funny how my friends with Hondas complain how expensive gas is because they filled up with 25 bux instead of their usual $20

My previous fill up record was $59.00. Good thing premium hasnt reached $4.00 a gallon in my area yet. I should have known something was up when I pulled up and saw the Diesel pump with a giant padlock

Oh well.

Cure to high gas prices:


Buy a Honda..less than $50 full tank; 1/2 tank to Vegas, then fill up with lower gas prices.

V6 A/C Nav and XM PRICELESS!!!

I paid about $68 to fill it up a couple of weeks ago. My fill-up light came on and the fuel gauge was completely bottomed out. I think I put about 17.92 gallons in it, haha.

I spent about 55-60 filling up the 1994 Taurus SHO. Depending on how much gas I have left. Plus you know I gotta put that Chevron/Shell 87 octane. (Which is around 3.50) (

no VTAK most them use premium. you gonna want to 1.5-1.6 of SOHC fury to get around 35+ mpg.

Hopefully I can sell my NA rx7 and pick up a 86 Corolla sr5 for a daily. 40 mpg FTW.

Do you think a 150cc is not enough to move your fat ***.
