OMG, if you don't like it that much join the military and do something about it, that or leave the country if you are that disatisfied with it and not have all the freedom you do now.
.....thank you Opec

It cost me in CT also almost 38 bucks to fill up, and since I put a lot of miles everyday, I gotta fill up about every 4th or 5th day, so that IS heavy on my student pocket.
Seriously, I was considering a month ago trading my Max for a diesel Jetta, but decided not to due to financial reasons (extra money I'd have to pay for Jetta would not justify the money I save on gas even in 6 years)

WOW. In Tx, it cost me about 23.00 to fill a full tank. The most that i have seen it was today at about $1.76 for premium at chevron. The gas prices are going up again. If premium was more than $2, i'd say fu<k it go regular.

It's not so bad, I just filled my car tonight. It's $1.71 for 91 octane preminum. You have to realized that we get cheap gas, not compare to countries in europe that pays nearly five bucks a gallon. You look at different aspect. We live in a free world country and spoiled one. Think about what we consume everyday in life, for instance, bottle water. How much would it cost you buy Danasi water to make a gallon. Probably about five dollars. So it's not a dead end for all of us. I know those make a good point trying to get decent gas mileage so there isn't something to bicker about.

Paid $1.87@ BP Premium yesterday. Though is not as bad as most of you in CA its not so good for me. I use to pay $1.60 for premium fuel.
I don't have a 4 Banger car that saves gas at home, so I guess I'm going to start shifting at 2000RPM everytime. I don't care if a school bus passes me
and flash the 4 way light when he gets in front of me.

keep in mind that even if it goes to $3/gallon... it's still cheaper than the rest of the world... and if you compare our earnings & their earnings..we are getting really cheap gas... where i grew up it's about $4/gallon right now but you only make about $400 a MONTH....
So stop complaining you biaches!!!

At least we now have good excuses to get kool looking bikes like the yamaha r6, the suzuki gsx, honda cbr, or the Neng Hao 1208MK or 1202.
All I need is my license and $9000.

In the city, I have to prepay to fillup. Now I got a CC under my mom's name so I get 5% back on any gas (plus 5% at grocery stores and drugstores) and I don't have to go inside anymore 
In the suburbs, you don't have to prepay. Some places say you have to prepay when it's dark, but the Shell station I went to never made me do that
