All the analysts are half and half on this how deal. Some say $3 or less again, others say $5 or more and thats it.
I say, like last time they will find that breaking point and that will make it tumble again.
I'm okay with $60 fill ups for now, When I get to $100 for fill-ups I will complain.

Your ok with $60 fill ups?
05-05-2011
@ 4.37/gal for 94 octane on 18 gallon tank it's already $78.66 to fill upI'm quite sure it's already more than that in other parts of the country. It costs $60 to fill up a civic let alone a grand prix lol......

OMG how dry to you let yours get? I put in 14g when its on the line for E, usually when it starts to get close its at 12g and I fill up because lower fuel means more chance of the strainer getting clogged or the pump sucking up gunk and messing up quicker... I just filled up and it was just under $60 with me buying a drink too

I usually fill it up and drive it till I have a gallon or two left. I know it's not good for the pump but I don't really worry about it. Car hasn't given me 1 trouble since I bought it. I honestly don't fill it up often either because I don't drive it but a couple times a week. Tank lasts me a pretty long time, usually drive it to see the in laws with the wife. It's highway mileage, I got 30.4 mpg on a 4 hr trip I did recently, runs good on 94 octane, never even seen .1* knock.
Usually it's the people that have to drive everyday in city + traffic that are complaining about gas costs in these cars. That and the people that are constantly downshifting their transmissons to hear the blower

I fall under both of those but I still don't complain... its my DD, I put 200 miles a week on her. That's why I got a GTP with low miles, i just hit 90,015 miles when I pulled into work this morning. btw thats a 99 with 90kUsually it's the people that have to drive everyday in city + traffic that are complaining about gas costs in these cars.

The thing that bugs me most is when people come into QuikTrip yelling at me about how i'm screwing them with these gas prices. lol i'm just a part time clerk, do you really think i have a say in the gas prices? idiots...haha
but i fill up every 2 weeks or so, usually when i get just below 1/4 tank...and it usually costs me $35-45, which i'm okay with for now i guess...sucks but necessary. Prices are usually hovering around the $4 mark for 93 octane here, went up to 4.19 yesterday though. :-(

30 gallons at 4.60 a gallon. You can do the math.
05-05-2011
Again, I dont know what gas costs today.
I just know I wont be getting much for $50.

I like how crude oil has been dropping in price and we added like 3.5million barrels of it to the reserve this year but gasoline production has gone down 8% so does this mean gas is expensive because nobody feels like making any or because oil investors are playing god saying oil might be more expensive in a few months so lets raise prices just in case.... I need to get a bicycle lol

im pretty lucky, i only have to drive 8 miles a day for work and get to telework a bit too, im in two weeks i drive about 56 miles, its all that damn do i want to go somewhere other than work and home **** that kills me, oh and the track. 2001 with just under 80K
05-05-2011
you gotta pay to play. when i run outta money i'll quit playing lol. it's getting pretty ridiculous, especially now that i'm driving almost 300 miles a week and i'm not nice to my car at all. over a tank of gas a week hurts, but i can budget for it and it's ok. i think it would be more of an issue if i had days off to spend money, but if i did, i would have more money to spend because i wouldn't be paying for gas. so i'm good for now haha

I just checked the price for a barrel of oil and it is currently $98.35. Earlier this week it was $115.00 a barrel. Slowly going down.... for now.
05-05-2011
just spent $55 the other day

Off Topic, but you're local! Small world.
On-Topic, the jobs in my town started drying up a bit, and I took a job 30 miles away (Stevens Point to Wausau). When I started, it sucked, but it wasn't too bad. $2.65/gallon. Now it's starting to get downright evil. i'm sorry, but filling up the fuel tank on a car should not be a major financial decision!!
This is part of the reason I'm getting out of riding motorcycles for a while. Its down to ride the bike, or do things with my kids. So, bikes are out for now. I'm sorry but it shouldn't cost $22 to fill up the tank on a sport bike!

There is somtihng very corrupt behind the gas prices, and at somepoint in the future it will be a ribber band effect where it may not have an imiediate impact on lifestyles but it will come snapping back, and hard.
