I don't plan to fill it for a week or two (I still have a quarter tank of gas). So by then, I think the panic price will have subsided. So I'm thinking $30 for a realistic fill.

It's a Civic..use 87 octane.

$0. I filled up my 2003 Civic Hybrid yesterday before the huge spike. So I won't need to fill up until the last week of September.

89 at $3.19, 87 at $3.39. I'll help out the farmers, help out my pocket book, and suffer the ~1% hit to gas mileage.

-cost me $46 this morning, I put in 17 gallons or so, because the empty light goes on when there's still 4 gallons left in the tank.

edit: I average 25mpg. More if I don't drive like a maniac.

Car ftw!

I filled up yesterday when it was $2.89 for 87 and $3.09 from 93. Also I'm using prices posted on the sign outside my window which is typically one of the most expensive places in town. Usually you can find it 10-20 cents cheaper by going less than 4 miles out of your way.


ouch!!! 10mpg..

12 gallons x $3.319 = $39.83

We're supposed to take a trip this weekend. 270 miles round trip @ 34mpg = 8 gallons * $3.319 = $26.55

In reality that's still not that bad. I don't feel sorry for those saps who bought suvs that get half what I get highway and paying over $50 for the same trip. You bought the gas guzzler, you can pay to fill it up.

Gas is 3.49 here today (93 octane, my car requires it)

My tank is 15 gallons. It usually takes 13-14 gallons each fill up.

So that's about $49.

Lately, I've been riding my Harley everywhere. The weather has been beautiful.

It has a 5 gallon tank, takes 3.5-4 gallon each fill up and requires super as well.

So that's about $14.
